Is this the year the real recession finally hits ? Could a new “land rush” spark a buying spree throughout the U.S. for coveted dirt that makes investors millions? And why is one type of rental property owner about to sell off their homes , ready to give you a sizable discount ? We’re still in the swing of prediction season, so this time, we’re giving you our boldest 2026 housing market predictions yet. We’re not talking mortgage rate predictions or home price predictions (we’ve already done that). This time, we’re sharing which real estate could take off or break down —and which could make savvy investors rich, if they’re able to buy the right deals. Some opportunities (like one we’re sharing today) only happen once in a decade , and we’re already getting the jump on them. Henry shares his insider secrets , noting that one specific type of rental is starting to hit the market as once-optimistic owners give up, opting to sell their properties without making a profit. This could be a huge opportunity to pick up homes in great shape and in solid markets at a discount. Dave talks about why this may be the year we finally get a recession and offers some cautious words of wisdom to everyone out there, as “chaos” might be in store . In This Episode We Cover A new land rush? The “opportunity” that is making investors buy the best-located dirt they can Airbnb owners give up : why your next rental property might be a failed short-term rental The “common person’s recession” that will have a massive impact on the economy New “ Big Beautiful Bill ” changes that could make some investors very rich The best year for new investors? Why 2026 could be the easiest time in years to invest in rental properties And So Much More!

The biggest announcement of last week’s Fed meeting had nothing to do with rate cuts . Instead, a quiet, mostly overlooked statement from the Federal Reserve could mean huge things for the economy, mortgage rates , and most importantly, the housing market. The mainstream seems to have missed it, focusing on the obvious news, but we’re breaking down the Fed’s new emergency tactic to stabilize the economy . What many thought would be a standard 0.25% rate-cut meeting was anything but. A fractured Fed , now split on rate cuts more than in prior years, has adopted a new tactic . Could this strategy be a return to a dangerous past—the days of “quantitative easing” (AKA money printing )? Or, does the Fed know what it’s doing, taking a more cautious approach than last time? We’ll break down the entire Fed story and share some crucial updates on housing inventory and affordability . Some markets are entering 2026 strong, with significantly lower inventory than pre-pandemic levels. Others could correct (or even crash) harder. Dave gives his opinion on which are which, sharing the markets that will thrive and the ones where home prices could dive . In This Episode We Cover The Fed’s new emergency measure designed to stabilize the economy and interest rates Money printing 2.0: Are we on a path back to dangerous quantitative easing? New rate cut forecast for 2026 and 2027 directly from the Fed The riskiest (and seemingly safest) real estate markets going into 2026 The most affordable city in the U.S ., and why it could thrive next year And So Much More!

We’re only a week away from winter, but the housing market is heating back up . Demand is rising as savvy buyers know that lower prices peak during the holiday season. But one crucial cohort is nowhere to be found…and it could have damaging consequences for the housing market as a whole. We’re back with another headline episode, taking the biggest stories from the housing market and giving our takes so you can make the best investing decision possible. This winter is feeling warmer for housing as demand does what no one expects —increases during the seasonally slow period of the year. What’s causing it— lower rates, FOMO , or something else entirely? Remember when people in their 20s used to buy houses? Well…not anymore. The new first-time homebuyer age reached a worrying new high , one that many of us couldn’t even believe. DSCR loan defaults are starting to tick up , doubling from this time last year. Is this a bigger deal than many think, and could it bring discounted investment properties to the table? Finally, Dave shares a sneak peek at BiggerPockets’ newest investor survey , where investors share what they think is coming in 2026…and there’s a lot to be excited about. In This Episode We Cover The new median age of America’s first-time homebuyers (borderline alarming) Why housing demand is going up during the (traditionally) slowest time of the year Delinquencies rising for DSCR loans ? Why investors are defaulting twice as much as last year A year of optimism : surprising finds from BiggerPockets’ newest investor sentiment survey The #1 best strategy investors are betting on for 2026 And So Much More!

Redfin just called it. The housing market will “reset” in 2026 …or at least it’ll be the start of it. Chen Zhao , head of economics research and a returning guest on the show, has 11 predictions she and her team have formulated for the 2026 housing market . A long, slow period of progress could be upon us, as buyers get what they’ve been asking for : better affordability , a more normal market, and the chance to own where there’s work. But what does this really mean? Will mortgage rates fall? Will home prices drop? We’re going through each of the 11 predictions with Chen, discussing prices, rates, rents, refinances, transaction volume, and even how AI could become the “matchmaker” for Americans looking for their first or next property. Make no mistake, this is good news for many, and could be just the start of a cycle that finally puts average Americans in the position to purchase a home. But, for real estate investors and landlords , there could be another big benefit coming in 2026, one that has a direct impact on your cash flow . In This Episode We Cover Redfin’s 2026 housing market predictions (prices, mortgage rates, and more!) The great “reset” that is coming for the housing market (it’s already begun) Rent growth returns? Struggling landlords could get some relief next year The best and worst real estate markets that Redfin is forecasting for 2026 The AI effect on real estate and why more buyers are using bots to find homes And So Much More!

Stock prices are up, home prices are high, gold , silver , and bitcoin have all had major bull runs. But the average American is broke. This is the “K-shaped” economy. If you feel like it’s harder to get by and the barrier to entry to invest is rising, you’re not going crazy. We’re in a new economy—a “K-shaped” economy —where those who own assets see their net worth soar as the middle class and average Americans watch their bank accounts shrink. This is not the place Americans want to be in right now, and the delicate balance that holds up our entire economy could fall apart sooner than we think. Dave explains what a K-shaped economy is, how it could bleed into the housing market , and whether this feast-or-famine system can survive much longer. Plus, he’ll share a shocking statistic that shows just how hard things are for ordinary Americans , and how a tiny minority is holding up the entire economy . In This Episode We Cover A “K-shaped” economy explained , and why Americans feel broke as asset prices soar A shocking statistic that shows just how unstable the American economy is Housing market side effects and the surprising age of America’s first-time homebuyer The widening wealth gap making investing harder for everyday people The three things that are keeping the middle class struggling (and why it’s gotten worse) Tough times ahead?

Years of housing market gains could be at risk , and it’s not because of mortgage rates, the Fed, or the US government…it’s because of sellers . Since 2022, we’ve seen housing inventory rise, home prices stabilize (and fall in many major markets), and affordability slightly improve for buyers (thanks to higher supply and lower demand). But now, a new wave of “delistings” could put the future of the housing market in jeopardy. Sellers are refusing to settle , and they’re walking away at the fastest pace in eight years. So, what’s next? A housing crash? A continued correction ? If the delistings continue, one scenario could come to fruition, and it’s not what buyers want to hear. Dave walks through the new delistings data in this episode and shares some startling statistics on just how bad things are for young Americans . If the next generation can’t buy or rent a home…what happens to the economy? In This Episode We Cover The “delisting” wave hitting an eight-year high and putting years of affordability gains at risk Correction or crash? Why sellers are far less desperate than most people think Markets with the most delistings and where inventory could start to reverse first Cracks in the US economy and the trouble that young Americans are in Lower rent growth for longer?

The housing market is not going to crash tomorrow. It’s also not going to boom soon. We’re not in 2008, and we’re also not in 2020. We’re in a strange gray area, a zone that most Americans have never experienced before. We’re entering the “Great Stall.” And this could last for years. All data points to a new kind of housing market forming. But why, and why now? Is there any chance of a housing crash or home price explosion like before? Yes, but Dave is going to break down the odds of each scenario, plus what to do in the most likely scenario , while home prices stagnate and mortgage rates stay relatively high. If you want to take advantage of the “Great Stall,” so that when home prices do go back up you’ll profit, there are four things you need to do. We’ll break down each step so you can prepare and pounce on the investment property that makes your future self wealthy. The “Great Stall” is here, and when it’s over, millions of Americans will wish they had bought. In This Episode We Cover Crash, boom, or plateau? The most likely scenario for home prices over the next few years How to prepare for the “Great Stall” and take advantage of frozen home prices The “upsides” you must look for that could explode your wealth when appreciation returns Why you need to start going “ risk-off ” in your investing to protect your wealth What will finally cause home prices to rebound and Americans to get back into the market And So Much More!

This could break the mortgage system as we know it. But, is it worth it? New “portable mortgages” have been floated by the Trump Administration and FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency), allowing homeowners to take their rock-bottom mortgage rates with them when they purchase a new home . The question is: will it work? We’re breaking down the likelihood of portable mortgages, how they currently work in countries like Canada , and the pros and cons for the average American. Most people are thinking about the upsides of a portable mortgage, but the downsides are equally severe. Would this really make sense in America? Dave is doing a deep dive into how the U.S. mortgage system works and whether new portable mortgages could break it, leading to the downfall of arguably the greatest home loan on the planet— the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage . Plus, how much more could it cost you to take out one of these portable loans? In This Episode We Cover Portable mortgages explained and how they actually work in countries like Canada How portable mortgages could “break” the fragile home loan system in the U.S. Pros and cons of portable mortgages that could help or hurt many Americans Increased fees , mortgage rates , and prepayment penalties ? Why nobody is talking about the side effects of portable mortgages Does Dave think this is a good idea? (strong opinion warning) And So Much More!

What if you could transfer your 3% mortgage rate to a new property ? It could be possible in the near future. A new type of home loan would allow borrowers to move their mortgage rate when they sell and buy a new property, effectively ending the “ lock-in effect ” plaguing the housing market. Could a loan like this really come to fruition? We’re back on another headline episode , touching on real estate’s top stories that you need to hear to invest better than the masses. First, we’re talking about “portable mortgages,” another push for affordability from the Trump administration. You may be able to transfer your low rate…but for how long? Then, we touch on the real reason the housing market is stuck in purgatory, and the only way we’ll bounce back. Is this the fall of house flipping ? James goes public (front-page news!) with a six-figure loss and shares the truth about how hard it is to flip houses right now. Finally, we answer the question every 13-28-year-old is asking: Is Gen Z screwed? With a tanking job market, there’s only one way for them to survive… In This Episode We Cover New “portable” mortgage potential that could let you take your rate to a new home The fall of house flipping?

Another year is nearly in the books. The 2025 housing market was largely defined by construction oversupply , sluggish rent growth , flat home prices , and widespread turbulence , with residential real estate moving far more slowly than anticipated and commercial real estate all but grinding to a halt. Yet it appears we’ve reached the bottom, and the silver lining is clear : real estate is still ripe with opportunity for investors who are willing to play the long game . Today, Brian Burke returns to the show to share where investors should be directing their attention in 2026 . Perhaps unsurprisingly, one asset class continues to deliver for investors who are intent on building long-term wealth with real estate . And Brian believes we may be entering a period that could mirror the early 1990s , where the wisest move is to slowly accumulate these assets before the next wave of appreciation . Slower rent growth might keep otherwise great assets from paying off in year one, but those who persevere through a “season of patience” stand to be rewarded when it really counts: 5 or 10 years from now. In This Episode We Cover Forecasting new construction , home prices , and mortgage rates in 2026 Why a period mirroring the early 1990s could be followed by a 2000s-style boom The roadmap for building generational wealth with small multifamily properties Why investors should focus on asset accumulation in a “season of patience” The asset Brian believes is the biggest “bright spot” in a tough housing market The benefits and potential dangers of the controversial 50-year mortgage And So Much More!

50-year mortgages could be coming sooner than we expected. This week, President Trump announced on social media the possibility of longer mortgage terms hitting the housing market. Extending the standard 30-year fixed-rate mortgage to 50 years will have massive implications for home prices , affordability , and cash flow for rental property investors. The question is: Will it actually happen? And if it does, how would these new mortgage rules affect your returns on real estate ? We did the math, comparing a 30-year mortgage vs. a 50-year mortgage to see which gives you bigger (total) returns and builds your wealth faster . The cash flow differences are notable and could mark significant improvements for landlords, but one drawback could be so great that investors turn away from this new mortgage entirely. Dave gives the pros and cons , shares what housing market experts are concerned about, and answers the question: Would he use a 50-year mortgage if given the option? In This Episode We Cover Trump’s new 50-year mortgage proposal that could change the housing market 30-year vs. 50-year mortgage returns on rental properties (cash flow, amortization , total returns) Why one outspoken housing expert is growing concerned about the support for 50-year mortgages One massive tradeoff that most Americans aren’t aware of when using a longer mortgage period Is a 50-year mortgage even…legal?

The United States is on the brink of a recession , according to major multinational bank UBS . Meanwhile, America’s largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, says recession risk is only at 40% . Who’s right? Who’s wrong? We’re using a new recession indicator in this episode to reveal America’s real risk of sliding into another downturn. If it feels like your dollar doesn’t go as far as it used to and your salary is barely keeping up—you’re not imagining it. But according to official sources , America has only been in a recession for three months since the Great Financial Crisis . That can’t be right when it’s getting this hard to get by. That’s why, in this episode, Dave shares his new recession indicator, based on the average American’s finances , to measure the financial health of real Americans, not what corporate earnings reports suggest. Looking back, the economic data doesn’t fit the official narrative. And if you feel like you’ve been in a recession for years , you might be right. But you can still protect (and grow) your wealth while the economy falters. Are your investments keeping your real wealth afloat? In This Episode We Cover The new “recession indicator” that forecasts whether average Americans will struggle or not Recession predictions from top banks and whether we’re on the precipice of a crisis Why the standard definition of a “recession” is wrong and ignores average Americans The alarming statistic that shows just how much of your spending power has been eaten away How to recession-proof your finances and invest so you can weather economic storms And So Much More!

The housing market is seeing a (surprisingly) positive trend . Yes, even with all those YouTube channels showing you “empty” houses, it seems that homebuyers , especially millennials, are getting back into the game . This is excellent news for agents , lenders, title companies, sellers, and flippers. So, what’s the “positive” trend we’re seeing? We’re back with another headline episode to get you up to date on the housing market in just around half an hour. First, new data points to housing demand increasing as mortgage rates stay away from their 7%+ highs. Is there a path to 5% interest rates in the near future? Yes, but the road to it won’t be pretty. Here’s what would have to happen for us to get there. Can you guess the top 10 cities with the largest price drops in the US? We’re sharing the complete list in this episode, with some surprising cities near the top. Finally, we’ll discuss the massive layoffs from tech , including Amazon’s recent firing of over 10,000 well-paid employees. If you live in an area where these layoffs are happening, the market could see a noticeable shift . In This Episode We Cover Why housing demand is actually going up while economic optimism is going down A 5% interest rate future? What actually has to happen for us to get there The top 10 United States cities seeing the most significant price drops Why James is preparing for layoffs ASAP and tweaking his investing strategy as jobs get cut Money printing…again?

The Fed cuts rates , and mortgage rates go up. Then they do it again, and rates…go back up. How does this keep happening? Has the Fed lost complete control over mortgage rates ? The Fed has now cut rates twice in 2025, and we’re hovering around the same (if not slightly higher) mortgage rates as before the first cut. After last week’s rate cut announcement , investors were surprised to see that mortgages—once again—got even more expensive . But it’s not because of what the Fed did—it was because of what they said, potentially foreshadowing a slower, longer path back to 5% mortgage rates . Dave is on to explain why mortgage rates moved in the opposite direction , why we could be stuck with higher mortgage rates for longer, and the two things that need to happen for mortgage rates to break back into the 5% range. Plus, he’ll share three realistic scenarios that could cause rates to move in different directions and what could trigger each. In This Episode We Cover The Fed meeting announcement explained and why mortgage rates went up The real reason why we’re not seeing mortgage rates fall below 6% Alarming corporate layoffs and whether this is a warning sign for the entire economy Some good/bad news about inflation and the cities that are faring the worst Three likely mortgage rate scenarios that could send rates in different directions, without the Fed making moves And So Much More!

The national housing correction is here but your results will be decided locally. Some markets are cooling gently, others are slipping fast, and a few affordable metros are still running warm. So where does that leave buy-and-hold, flips, STRs, and BRRRRs? We map the dramatic regional split, Midwest/Northeast steadier, Gulf Coast/Texas under pressure, and show how to match your strategy to on-the-ground realities like inventory, rent growth, and affordability. You’ll hear why “flat prices + rising rents” can be a green light for cash flow, when to take a calculated swing in oversold-but-strong-fundamentals cities (think Austin/Nashville/Dallas), and where supply and insurance costs are pushing deeper discounts (hello, Florida). We also dig into metro-level forecasts into 2026 and why your underwriting should look different in Milwaukee than in Miami. In This Episode We Cover Local > national: why the same correction looks totally different by region and price tier Affordability & supply: the two signals driving winners and laggards (and how to measure both) Hottest vs. coolest markets: where buyers have leverage and where demand still pops Rents vs. prices: pairing flat/declining prices with rising rents to improve cash flow Risk-on vs. risk-off playbooks: conservative buy boxes vs. opportunistic dips in strong cities Flipping in a slowdown: wider spreads, longer days-on-market, how to price and pace Forecasts into 2026: what recent metro projections imply for your next 3 - 12 months of deals Hold or sell?

Recent data show that U.S. cancellation rates for property deals have reached a record high this year, with buyers taking advantage of more moderate conditions to re-evaluate their options.

Curious about how real estate fraud could impact investors as the market evolves? We’ll also explore rising cases of fraud and the steps you can take to protect yourself.

The headlines say “slowdown,” but let’s call it what it is: a housing correction. Prices (in real terms) are slipping, days-on-market is stretching, and cooling is broadening across regions and price tiers. What does that actually mean for buyers, sellers, and investors and how is a correction different from a crash? We unpack the data, define the terms, and show you how to play offense without taking on unnecessary risk. We break down nominal vs. real prices (and why inflation math matters), why widespread cooling doesn’t equal panic, and the key forces restoring affordability: rates, wages, and prices. Plus, how long a typical correction lasts, why “forced selling” is the real crash trigger (and why we’re not there), and what to do if your on-paper values dip. Finally, we get tactical: tightening your buy box, underwriting with flat rents and conservative appreciation, negotiating in a slower market, and deciding when to hold vs. sell, so you’re positioned for the next expansion, not paralyzed by the current stall. In This Episode We Cover Correction vs. crash: clear definitions, real-world thresholds, and why speed + depth matter Nominal vs. real prices: how inflation turns “up 2%” into a true decline The cooling map: regions and price tiers that are slipping and which are merely slowing Why inventory is rising (but not flooding) and why low delinquencies keep this a correction How long corrections typically last and what could shorten or extend this one Playbook for 2025–26: precise buy boxes, conservative underwriting, better negotiations, and handling “paper losses” without panicking Links from the Show Join the Future of Real Estate Investing with Fundrise Join BiggerPockets for FREE Find an Investor-Friendly Agent in Your Area Find Investor-Friendly Lenders Property Manager Finder Dave's BiggerPockets Profile Check out more resources from this show on BiggerPockets.com and https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-365 Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

The market is sending mixed signals, so what does that mean for buyers and sellers right now? Prices are cooling toward neutral, new listings are finally creeping up, pending sales just slipped, and days on market are the longest since 2019. We sort through the latest data so you can read your local market with clear eyes. A government shutdown is already touching housing. With the National Flood Insurance Program paused, some coastal and riverine deals are stalling as buyers struggle to bind coverage. We explain one potential workaround by assigning an existing policy, plus how many closings could be delayed if the lapse drags on. Zooming out, we track fresh signs of consumer strain. Subprime auto delinquencies are at a record, average car payments now top 750 dollars a month, and sentiment has split sharply between households with big stock portfolios and those without. Several states are flirting with recession risk, which could tug mortgage rates lower, while sticky inflation could keep them pinned. In This Episode We Cover Cooling home prices, rising days on market, and what a near-flat Case-Shiller trend means for offers and list strategy The shutdown’s housing ripple effects, including the flood insurance lapse and an assignment tactic that may keep deals alive Why pending sales dipped even as new listings rose, and how to negotiate in a thinner buyer pool Auto loan stress, four-figure car payments, and what these budget pressures mean for future housing demand A tale of two consumers, plus a state-by-state look at recession risk and how that feeds into mortgage rates Action steps for buyers, sellers, and investors in a market that is cooling, not crashing Links from the Show Join the Future of Real Estate Investing with Fundrise Join BiggerPockets for FREE Find an Investor-Friendly Agent in Your Area Find Investor-Friendly Lenders Property Manager Finder Dave's BiggerPockets Profile Check out more resources from this show on BiggerPockets.com and https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-364 Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

We can definitively say it now: the buyer’s market is here. The housing market is cooling down , but the deals are heating up as a “mild” correction slows down hot markets and gives buyers even more power in cold ones. With it comes buying opportunities —ones that real estate investors have been starved of over the past few years. You can negotiate for more, offer less, and lock in a lower mortgage rate than last year. The question is: will this correction turn into a full-blown housing crash ? Dave’s giving you his honest (and data-backed) opinion in this September 2025 housing market update ! Mortgage delinquencies are rising rapidly in one subset of the market, the crash-bro clickbaiters say it’s a sign of a coming housing apocalypse—are they finally right about something? One thing is certain: a few housing markets across the US are in danger of slipping into an even more oversupplied market. But, with new data showing that sellers are quitting and walking away , will this reverse the worrying trend? Stick around, we’ve got your housing market update without the hype. In This Episode We Cover The “mild” housing market correction : what it means and whether it’ll become a crash Updated home price predictions and how much prices will rise/fall by the end of the year Signs that you can start confidently bidding under asking price (but by how much?) Why inventory is beginning to reverse (have sellers finally had enough?) Mortgage delinquencies are rising : who’s affected and could it lead to foreclosures ? What investors should do now to prepare to buy discounted deals (be patient!) And So Much More!

Is the new construction market the golden ticket for real estate investors in 2025? With newly built homes now cheaper than existing ones, thanks to regional pricing differences, builders' incentives, and a desire to move inventory quickly, this could be an unexpected opportunity for savvy investors.

Is a recession really coming, or is this the new normal for the housing market? Dave Meyer and J Scott unpack how post-2008 shifts, record debt and money printing, tariffs, and AI are changing the rules, then connect inflation and the labor market to mortgage rates and interest rates so you can gauge what moves them next. You will get a risk-off playbook for today’s deals, including conservative underwriting, assuming flatter rents and higher vacancy, buying at today’s rates, and favoring fixed-rate debt, plus why single-family housing prices are usually resilient outside of severe shocks. Their housing market prediction and forecast: expect mostly stable home prices with modest moves while mortgage rates hover near current levels, with bigger swings only if jobs crack hard or inflation reaccelerates.

Fed cut rates for the first time in nine months, yet mortgage rates climbed again, so Dave breaks down why and what happens next for the housing market. He explains that the Fed funds rate mainly moves short-term interest rates, while long-term lending tracks the 10-year Treasury and risk spreads, with inflation risk keeping mortgage rates stubborn. His housing market prediction and forecast: expect mortgage rates to hover in the low to mid sixes through 2025, meaning tight affordability and mostly stable home prices, while commercial real estate could benefit more due to shorter-term debt structures. Takeaways for investors include underwriting deals at today’s rates, tracking inflation and labor data, and preparing for steady transaction gains rather than a rapid drop in interest rates or a surge in housing prices.

Fed rate drop, refinance rush, and a land price reset: what does it mean for the housing market now. Henry Washington, Kathy, and James explain why refinance applications jumped roughly 30 percent after 30-year mortgage rates slipped near 6.39 percent, how today’s ARMs actually work, and why locking a refi now can beat waiting for future interest rates to fall. They outline a practical housing market prediction and forecast, expecting more transactions rather than a surge in home prices or housing prices, plus timing tips for listing into the spring when buyer activity historically rises. You will also get a reality check on the “great wealth transfer” and reverse mortgages, along with a land strategy playbook for a potential price decline, from targeting big-lot houses and infill splits to using seller financing to create equity and cash flow.

Is the labor market finally cracking, and what does that mean for the housing market? Dave Meyer distills the latest BLS and ADP payrolls, JOLTS, and unemployment data, from August’s 22,000 nonfarm payroll gain and a 4.3% jobless rate to a 900,000 downward revision and a spike in initial claims, to show a clear cooling trend. He explains why a softer labor market raises the odds of Fed cuts yet inflation keeps pressure on interest rates, so mortgage rates may ease only modestly, boosting transaction volume more than home prices or housing prices. You will hear practical plays for real estate investors, including watching local job numbers, prioritizing tenant retention and collections, and considering refinances if you hold 7 to 8 percent loans, plus how markets like Las Vegas and San Francisco may diverge. Dave’s housing market prediction and forecast: a soft but functioning market with cautious upside, where housing prices stabilize and conservative underwriting wins until clearer trends emerge.

Is this a housing market correction or a crash? Dave Meyer and ICE’s Andy Walden unpack the Mortgage Monitor: nominal home prices are up about 1.1% year over year, but real housing prices are negative; sellers are stepping back, inventory gains are cooling, and demand still tracks mortgage rates and interest rates, which points to a soft but functioning housing market. You’ll hear the regional story in Denver, Florida, and Texas, why FHA delinquencies are inching up while 2020 to 2021 loans perform well, and how soaring property insurance is squeezing affordability and debt to income ratios. Plus, a housing market prediction/forecast: if mortgage rates land in the low sixes (around 6.25% by year end), expect firmer home prices rather than a COVID era surge.

In this episode of On the Market, host Dave Meyer and guest expert Rick Sharga dive into the complexities behind investor activities in the housing realm.

The housing market is already predicted to see price cuts by the end of the year, but is now the time to buy, or should you wait for further price movement? We brought on an investor who has successfully timed the housing market (three times) to give his thoughts on whether we’re at the bottom or we have a long way to go. If you’ve been holding out for lower home prices and less competition, should you take the risk and wait , knowing a rebound could be on the way? Through a combination of genius and a bit of luck, Brian Burke has sold, bought, and sold at the right times repeatedly. He exited the majority of his real estate portfolio in the early 2020s as prices hit all-time highs and competition was fierce. For the last three and a half years, he hadn’t bought anything, up until very recently. Is this a signal that now is the time to buy? Today, we’re asking Brian whether 2025 is the right time to buy (and for which assets), how to get in “position” to make a profit as home prices decline, the sellers most likely to give you concessions and further price cuts , and signs YOU should sell your headache rental and trade it for something better. The second half of 2025 could be when the scales tip —are you ready to make a move?

Is the “long fizzle” the housing market’s next chapter? With mortgage rates still high and interest rates keeping cash parked in T-bills, many buyers are sidelined, pointing to a housing market prediction of flat home prices in nominal terms and falling housing prices after inflation. Dave and analyst Nick Maggiulli connect today’s risk-on/risk-off behavior back to housing and outline three paths: melt-up followed by a correction, a long fizzle, or a supply-driven drop that’s least likely. Nick also shares a practical playbook so you can position for any housing market forecast, focus on income growth, keep investing steadily, and aim for “doubles” in real estate while protecting your downside.

Are property taxes actually illegal theft from homeowners? This episode dives deep into the growing chorus of Americans claiming property taxes violate constitutional property rights, examining two main legal arguments: the "no true ownership" theory, and possible Fifth Amendment violations. These arguments are gaining steam in several states, but are they legally valid? On The Market host Dave Meyer explores that question, plus how rising home prices are driving property tax reform movements across states like Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, potentially reshaping the housing market by reducing ownership costs and affecting home prices, mortgage affordability, and regional migration patterns.

Is chasing hot markets like Austin and Nashville actually hurting your long-term wealth building?

They reveal why the "slow and steady" approach might not be the wealth-building winner you think it is, sharing real examples from Kathy's 30 years of investing across both market types.

With housing market conditions shifting dramatically from a seller's to buyer's market, real estate investors are facing a critical decision: should you buy more properties now, pay down existing mortgages, or wait for even better deals? In this episode, On The Market host Dave Meyer and expert panelists Kathy Fettke, James Dainard, and Henry Washington dive deep into current market opportunities, sharing specific examples of deals that weren't available just months ago and debating whether declining home prices and falling mortgage rates create the perfect storm for investors. Dave, Kathy, James and Henry reveal their contrasting strategies on leverage versus debt paydown, explore how interest rates impact investment decisions, and discusse why timing the housing market perfectly might be less important than having a clear investment plan with target returns.

Could President Trump's battle with Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve over interest rates actually lead to higher mortgage rates instead of the lower rates Trump is pushing for?

Successfully navigating today's housing market requires understanding the trends creating both opportunities and risks for investors. But what if varying data points in different directions? While the national average home price hit a new record high, prices in more than one third of major U.S. housing markets are now declining, particularly in Florida and Texas where some areas face crash-level drops. Meanwhile, new construction starts are slowing as builder confidence erodes and contract cancellations have reached 15%, signaling a shift toward buyer leverage. Host Dave Meyer breaks down what these mixed housing market signals mean for real estate investors on this episode of On The Market.

Jamie Dimon , CEO of JPMorgan Chase, America’s largest bank, just issued a major economic warning . In Dimon’s eyes, the economy has falsely recovered from the tariffs imposed on Liberation Day, with investors exhibiting an extraordinary amount of “complacency” in the face of mounting economic risks . If the country’s biggest bank is saying this, why aren’t Americans listening, and what should you do with your investments right now to protect yourself from more risks to come ? The Liberation Day tariffs tanked the stock market and raised serious inflation concerns almost overnight. While the stock market has recovered, inflation fears are still peaking , economic sentiment has deflated, and consumer debt is rising . Is now the time to sell and move into cash in case a recession or more serious economic downturn arrives? Dave is breaking down the most significant economic risks we face right now , which have the biggest effects on real estate , and how he is personally managing his money to protect himself from economic risks that most investors aren’t prepared for. But what should you be doing now? Dave is sharing his “capital preservation” checklist.

Rent growth has slowed significantly since the massive hikes of 2020-2023, but could we be close to another major rebound? A surge in multifamily supply has led many apartments to offer discounted rents , move-in and renewal concessions , and other perks to attract renters. Renters currently have the upper hand, but what happens when the supply-demand balance shifts —and less than half the usual new supply comes online? Dave is answering that question in this May 2025 rent update . We’ll walk through which cities have rising rents , which are seeing declines, multifamily vs. single-family rents, and a new (optimistic) 2025–2026 rent forecast that could change everything for landlords. Single-family rentals are already in decent demand, so what happens when those cheaper multifamily apartments reach maximum occupancy? This could be great news for landlords and real estate investors, but the general public is NOT paying attention. If rental demand stays steady but supply drops off a cliff, you could stand to benefit. We’re getting into that, and more, in this episode! In This Episode We Cover New May 2025 rent growth update and single-family vs. multifamily numbers The huge investor opportunity for 2026 as multifamily supply dries up Cities with rising rents that very few investors would have predicted An optimistic rent growth forecast (and whether Dave believes it) Surprisingly expensive markets that are seeing rents grow EVEN more And So Much More!

New builds are popping up everywhere. But some markets have a lot more new homes on the way . This could be risky for real estate investors in these areas, as steady demand and growing supply could put downward pressure on home and rent prices . Where are builders the most and least bullish in 2025, and which markets have so much supply that investors might want to steer clear? Today, we’re giving you a housing supply and inventory update . Austin Wolff joins us again to share findings from the latest builder sentiment survey —how confident builders are in today’s housing market—and which markets they’re building the most (and least) in. This is crucial as an investor, whether you rent or flip , since supply is one factor investors can’t control. Builder sentiment has seen a quick reversal from the 2020 - 2022 highs, but why are there still so many new development projects if builders are bearish? With permits finally getting approved, many builders are forced to complete projects , even during weaker market conditions, leading to lower prices for new build buyers and some dangerous “spillover” effects for investors in the market. In This Episode We Cover Why builder confidence has dropped so much , and why they can’t stop building (even with less profit) Markets seeing the most new construction and potential downward pressure on home prices Why now may be a great time to pick up a new build as developers give concessions The simple formula you can use to see if your market has too much supply for demand Could pessimistic builder conditions be better for appreciation in the long run?

Price cuts surge across the housing market as inventory bounces back in a big way. The “healthier” housing market is starting to show, and the “gap” between buyers and sellers is shrinking. Zillow’s Orphe Divounguy is back to give a sneak peek at their latest housing market data , which shows encouraging signs for buyers, agents , lenders, and anyone who wants the housing market to get back in action! After Zillow recently forecasted a home price decline in 2025 , many saw this as a bearish signal for housing. But Orphe, Senior Economist at Zillow, says that this is instead a good sign for the market. With inventory rising, sellers are getting more realistic , meaning lower prices and more choice for buyers. But what about mortgage rates —could they also drop and fuel even greater affordability? Orphe is sharing his mortgage rate prediction as well. How will trade wars and tariffs affect the housing market with so many Americans on the financial edge?

The US economy is shrinking , with GDP declining this quarter. We’re getting closer to recession territory, so why aren’t mortgage rates dropping? We’ll explain how one crucial part of the economy is staying strong—keeping the Fed from cutting and delaying the typical rate-drop that comes with a recession. What’s stopping us from going back to sub-6% mortgage rates? We’ll break it down in this episode. The economy is changing—fast. The US saw its GDP turn negative last quarter as many Americans braced for the impact of tariffs . But even with the overall economy lagging, labor data remains strong. Jobs are still being created, unemployment is relatively low, and Americans are going to work. This may be the single factor keeping the Fed in limbo, unable to cut rates any further. So, what happens if the labor market breaks? Home builders were already anxious over the past year, and now they’re getting even more hesitant to build. With tariffs pushing up prices for materials , building (and buying) a house could get much more expensive. And with builders already dropping prices, could this lead to a broader decline in home prices across the nation ? In This Episode We Cover A worrying sign for the US economy and whether it could trigger lower mortgage rates The one thing standing in the way of the Fed finally cutting rates again Tariff effects on GDP and the first signs of what they could do to our economy New labor market numbers and why jobs are being added as the economy shrinks Are we in a recession ? And does it even matter if we are? And So Much More!

What the heck is happening with the US economy? Stocks are down , now they’re up, mortgage rates are dropping—wait, scratch that—they’re back up again, the Fed could have a new chair, and if they cut rates, interest rates could…rise? A “technical” recession is on the way , but will it have the same effects as the last one? We need some backup to explain the state of the US economy, and J Scott is here to do just that.

Home prices are already unstable , but could a recession , combined with high inventory and low demand, push us over the edge ?

Stagflation : the combination of two of the worst economic conditions— inflation and slow/no growth . With stagflation, prices rise , asset growth shrinks , unemployment increases , consumer confidence drops, and economic pain spreads. This is the first time in almost fifty years that the US has had to deal with what is an extremely rare economic scare . And with the Fed already under immense pressure to lower rates, is the US economy out of escape routes? Today, we’re talking about stagflation—a trend that has worried major economists for months . Economic “warning signs” are already flashing as recession and inflation risks grow. But if we get hit with stagflation, how bad will it be, how long will it last, and how will it affect real estate? I’m explaining it all today. We’ll walk through what happened during the 1970s stagflation crisis , how home and rent prices were affected, what’s causing today’s stagflation risk , and whether the Fed has any power left to mitigate the worst consequences of it. This could affect every American and anyone investing in American real estate, but have my investing plans changed? I’ll tell you what I’m doing next. In This Episode We Cover Stagflation explained and why it’s becoming a greater risk in 2025 Why the Fed may be out of options to fight stagflation and what’s causing it Reviewing the 1970s stagflation crisis and what happened to real estate prices then Inflation forecasts for 2025 and how much more prices could rise My current investing plan and how I’m looking at real estate if stagflation strikes And So Much More!

The housing market may be at greater risk than many of us thought. An economic trifecta is forming . If all three conditions hit at once, it could spell serious problems for anyone in the real estate industry. We may be close to a time when high home prices, high mortgage rates , and a recession all meet, causing a significant slowdown with effects that could hurt everyone who buys, sells, or helps transact on homes. But how likely is this to happen? The past month has been a wild ride for the economy. Mortgage rates fell dramatically but are now shooting back up . Inflation and unemployment fears are peaking as consumer confidence drops to unprecedented levels. And now, new tariffs could drive costs even higher . This could change everything, weakening the US dollar and making buying a house even harder. Every real estate investor, agent , lender, or professional should understand these risks because the effects could be severe. In this episode, we’re breaking down all the latest economic changes and how they affect the housing market . In This Episode We Cover New risks to the housing market that could cause big changes for buyers and sellers Why interest rates are starting to reverse , shooting back up EVEN with high recession risk The trifecta of bad news for the housing market and what investors must know now What a weakening dollar means for mortgage rates and the US economy as a whole Transaction volume forecasts and whether we’ll still see a hot spring homebuying season And So Much More!

What if you could predict how a housing market performs before buying there? This would allow you to invest only in the best areas across the US, putting money down where you know it will multiply and letting you get leagues ahead of the other investors. This is MORE than possible, but you’ll need to know which metrics mean the most to an investing market. Neal Bawa has been doing this for years, building a huge real estate investing empire simply by looking at the data others often ignore . Today, he’s giving you his exact strategy. Why should you NOT invest in your backyard? It may seem like the easiest place to start, but Neal says you could miss out on a massive upside by sticking to what is comfortable. As a data scientist, he puts the numbers before the hype , ditching cities that investors are flocking to and investing in those that only have the most solid fundamentals. He mentions one metric that makes a housing market grow or slow in rent prices , but which metric is it? Today, Neal is sharing the best markets across the US to invest in, why renters prefer one type of housing over others (it’s not what you’d think), what Neal is buying NOW even with high interest rates and still (relatively) stubborn sellers, and why his six-metric formula is the key to predicting which markets will boom . In This Episode We Cover How to predict rent growth and home price growth in ANY market in America Multifamily vs. single-family rentals and why one hybrid is beating both Neal’s top 2025 markets to invest in using his six-metric market formula Why Neal stopped making offers on apartments and started buying THIS instead Is local real estate investing hurting your returns?

Americans are dealing with severe trade war whiplash , and it’s starting to show. Consumer sentiment has fallen off a cliff in the most recent reading, with many Americans fearful that inflation will spike back up , the economy will slow way down, and we’ll be stuck in economic quicksand. How close is this to reality, and if average Americans are panicking, what should investors do to keep their sanity and portfolios stable? It’s been quite a week, so we’re bringing you the biggest headlines from the housing market and more!

Large multifamily , for the most part, has been an “uninvestable” asset for the past few years . Tons of new inventory hitting the market, short-term loans coming due, rising expenses, and stagnant rent growth are just a few reasons investors have avoided this asset like the plague. Even veteran multifamily investor Brian Burke sold off a majority of his portfolio when prices were sky-high . Now, the oracle of multifamily has come back to share why he thinks we have two years until this reverses. Brian believes there’s a strong “signal” that sellers are about to get real , buyers will have more control, and rent prices will grow again. Could this be the bottoming out of the multifamily real estate market, or are we still years away from any recovery? What about small “sweet spot” multifamily rentals or single-family homes? Are they worth investing in right now? Brian shares exactly which assets have the most (and least) potential and the recession indicators to watch that could throw the real estate market out of whack. In This Episode We Cover The state of large multifamily in 2025 : Is it finally time to get back in the game? The “sweet spot” multifamily properties small investors should be buying now Why 2027 could be the year that the multifamily market reverses Is residential real estate (single-family rentals) still a worthwhile buy in this housing market?

Last week’s tariff announcement from the Trump administration put the stock market in a freefall . Major indexes are now past correction territory and on their way to crash status. But one silver lining for real estate investors? Mortgage rates . Economic fear is pushing more investors to buy bonds , lowering yields and mortgage rates. How long will suppressed mortgage rates last, and could rates fall even more? The Trump administration’s latest round of tariffs may be the most significant change in economic policy in 50 years . This affects not just Americans but the entire world, as President Trump purposefully pursues a “deglobalization” strategy . This could force us to form new allies, break ties with old ones, and see a shift to much less reliance on foreign trade partners. What does that mean for real estate investors? Well, you could see certain costs go up —significantly. We’ll discuss exactly which costs will rise, and by how much, and what investors should do to protect themselves—not panic—in this highly volatile time. In This Episode We Cover Trump’s latest tariff announcement explained and the countries that will be hit hardest Why Canada and Mexico were excluded from the new round of tariffs How economic fear affects interest rates , and whether these low(er) rates will last One MASSIVE risk that could hurt all Americans if it comes to fruition What Dave is doing right now to protect (and grow) his portfolio during downturns And So Much More!

Mortgage delinquencies are up…or are they? One chart that’s been circulating on social media would have you believe that a growing number of homeowners are on the brink of foreclosure , driving us toward another 2008-style collapse . Is the panic justified or unfounded? We’ll dig into the data in today’s episode! A Freddie Mac chart has been doing the rounds recently, showing a massive jump in delinquencies, but what the data really reveals is a spike in another type of real estate delinquency —a trend that should come as no surprise, given how rising interest rates impact adjustable-rate loans . But what about residential real estate ? Are regular homeowners now suddenly missing mortgage payments to 2008 levels? There’s no denying that we’re entering a buyer’s market . While a 2008-style housing market crash is unlikely, inventory is growing , and home prices could decline another 2%-3% . Whether you’re a regular homebuyer or real estate investor , this means you have an unusual amount of negotiating leverage . We’ll share a strategy you can use to insulate yourself from a potential dip and capitalize on an eventual surge in home prices ! In This Episode We Cover How mortgage delinquency rates impact the housing market overall Why real estate is historically less volatile than stocks and other markets The “canary in the coal mine” that could signal trouble for the housing industry Why we’re seeing an (expected) surge in these mortgage delinquencies Taking advantage of a buyer’s market and a potential “dip” in home prices And So Much More!

Home prices are falling fast in some prime real estate markets across the country while others remain stubbornly stuck. What’s the defining factor between a stable housing market and one where sellers are actively cutting prices? Housing inventory ! This metric defined the 2020 - 2022 run-up in home prices, but the rubber band of demand is snapping back as buyer power grows, housing inventory rises, and investors get even better buying opportunities . Remember when people said, “I’ll buy when prices drop”? Well, now might be the time. ResiClub’s Lance Lambert joins us to provide a holistic view of housing inventory, prices, demand, and emerging opportunities . Lance walks through the most up-to-date data on where housing inventory is rising fast, where prices are quickly declining , and which markets are holding on as sellers remain in control. We’ll also talk about why homebuilding costs are about to JUMP and the reason Warren Buffett sold his homebuilding stocks shortly after buying them. Will construction slow down, limiting new inventory and leading us back into ultra-low supply? If so, this could push home prices higher, creating a prime opportunity for real estate investors . In This Episode We Cover US real estate markets seeing the most and least new inventory, and where prices are falling Is spiking inventory a worrying sign for the housing market, or are we merely normalizing? What to look at in your housing market to forecast whether prices will rise or fall Why are homebuilding costs about to JUMP , and could this lead to even more inventory problems?

Florida property taxes could drop to 0% . As the state struggles with some of the lowest affordability in the country, with home insurance almost doubling in five years and home prices increasing by more than 50% compared to pre-pandemic pricing, Floridian homeowners have seen their housing costs explode. So, what if they could save thousands of dollars a year by ditching property taxes ? If Florida makes it work, this could open up the floodgates for many other states to pass similar bills. But WILL it work? A significant amount of Florida’s tax revenue comes from property taxes , so will they be efficient enough to work with a tighter budget, or will infrastructure break down due to the massive loss in government funding? And, if property taxes are eliminated, boosting affordability , could buyer demand surge as well? We ran the numbers , and the potential savings on housing costs are substantial . If Florida proves a successful 0% property tax test case, other states (including yours) could be next. In This Episode We Cover Florida ’s new legislative push to abolish or reduce property taxes for homeowners How much homeowners would save every month if their property taxes were eliminated Can Florida afford to ban property taxes , and which services would be compromised if they did? States that are most likely to eliminate property taxes if Florida succeeds Serious side effects of eliminating property taxes and who pays the price And So Much More!

Real estate is one of the most tax-advantaged investments in the country. With bonus depreciation , opportunity zone investing, 1031 exchanges, and more, investing in real estate is not only the best way to build wealth—it’s the key to tax-free (or deferred) wealth. So, with a Republican-controlled House and Senate, will new tax proposals favoring real estate investments pass? We’ve got some news that could make 2025 a “game-changer” year for real estate investors. CPA Brandon Hall joins us to break it down. With numerous proposals floated to restore 100% bonus depreciation , extend opportunity zone investments, and eliminate taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security, 2025’s tax laws could look very different if these changes pass. Plus, there’s one huge real estate tax write-off you’re (probably) not taking advantage of . Brandon shares how investors can write off even more during rehabs and renovations, using a specific tax deduction most investors have never heard of. Find investor-friendly tax and financial experts with BiggerPockets Tax & Financial Services Finder! In This Episode We Cover 100% bonus depreciation —is it coming back , and when could it go into effect?

Stocks are struggling , recession fears are ramping up, and investors are starting to worry. The stock market has been falling for weeks , major indexes are down, and new (rapidly changing) tariffs are only making things worse. But what does this actually mean for your investments? Is this just a stock market correction, or could real estate soon suffer the same fate? Today, we’re breaking down what’s going on in the US economy: why stocks are tanking , how the housing market could react , and what smart investors are doing right now. Should you sell, hold, or shift your stocks into real estate? Dave shares a big move he just made with his own portfolio and why he’s rethinking his investment strategy heading into a potential recession. With so much uncertainty, you need to know what actually matters (and what doesn’t) for your portfolio. Will falling stock prices inadvertently trigger a real estate boom? Could lower inflation and interest rate cuts save the market? And most importantly—what should you do next? We can’t give you financial advice, but Dave is sharing what he’s doing with his money in this episode. In This Episode We Cover Why the stock market is sliding and whether a recession is next The psychological impact of new tariffs on the economy (and YOUR investments) The almost unbelievable (and borderline frightening) metric about consumer spending Why Dave sold a sizable chunk of his stock portfolio (and where that money is going) How a stock market correction could shake up the housing market What lower inflation and possible rate cuts could mean for real estate The key economic signals you NEED to watch over the next few months And So Much More!

Is the mortgage industry still safe? The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has been ordered to halt all work while awaiting a new Trump-appointed director. While you may not often hear about this government agency, the CFPB plays a huge role in the mortgage industry and is the reason 2008-style lending practices have not been brought back to the market. With uncertainty surrounding the CFPB—will it be downsized, shut down, or remain unchanged?—many in the mortgage and real estate industries are concerned about what’s next . Chris Willis , host of The Consumer Finance Podcast , joins the show to share how the Trump administration is thinking of restructuring the CFPB and limiting the scope of its protections . Will the new CFPB director scale back some of the more inclusive mortgage lending practices or keep them the same? Could your bank account and credit card fees change due to a less strict CFPB directive, and what does this mean for YOU getting your next mortgage ? This agency has bigger effects than many Americans realize, so we’re sharing what’s coming next. In This Episode We Cover The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) explained, what they do, and how they influence mortgage lending Why the Trump administration is taking aim at this agency and halting work The one piece of legislation protecting strict mortgage laws in America (could it be changed?)

Mortgage rates are down, so the housing market should be entering a frenzy…right? Not quite. The buyer’s market seems alive and well, with sellers offering concessions as the housing market visibly “slows.” What’s causing it? New inventory hitting the market? Tariff talks leading to higher housing costs? We’re getting into it all in this episode as we hit on four of last week’s top headlines. First, how much will a new home cost now that tariffs are in place? With lumber , labor, and material prices all rising, there could be a five-figure added cost per home for homebuilders, making it even more expensive for buyers. Will labor costs continue to rise in 2025 after years of solid growth, or will renovators and flippers finally get relief? The housing market is slowing down even as we get closer to the spring homebuying season. Home prices are DOWN year-over-year, but one caveat makes this a half-truth. With more inventory hitting the market, buyers could have their pick! And that inventory could grow even greater as mortgage delinquencies start to rise —should we begin to worry? Enough speculation; let’s get into it! In This Episode We Cover How much more a new home will cost with the 2025 tariffs now put in place A worrying statistic about mortgage delinquencies investors must pay attention to Labor and material cost predictions for 2025: Can they keep rising? Updated housing inventory metrics and why sellers are struggling , ready to give concessions Why Henry really needs a hug this week And So Much More!

“Tariff Tuesday” just hit, and the economic ripple effects are already in motion. The stock market saw a significant sell-off , key recession indicators are flashing, and mortgage rates dropped yet again. These shifts could have a major impact on the economy, but will they spill over into real estate? And as an investor, could your costs rise even more? In this episode, Dave breaks down what actually happened on “Tariff Tuesday,” which tariffs were imposed, and how they could shape the months ahead. We’ll cover how different countries are responding and what this could mean for inflation , the stock market, and what you really want to hear about— mortgage rates . Could rates continue their months-long decline, or are we bottoming out for 2025? These new tariffs directly affect real estate investors and anyone within the industry, but is Dave changing his investing strategy for 2025? Should you second-guess your stock portfolio and search for more stable assets as the market rollercoaster continues? We’re getting into it in this episode! In This Episode We Cover The “recession indicators” going off that have economists and everyday Americans worried Why mortgage rates are FALLING even though inflation concerns are rising Whether tariffs will make real estate investing even more expensive (and which homes will be hit the hardest) The stock market ’s “Tariff Tuesday” reaction and what it signals about the economy Retaliatory tariffs and which countries are firing back at the Trump administration And So Much More!

Mortgage rates are now at their lowest point in months , giving homebuyers and real estate investors some much-needed relief. But it isn’t all good news. With lower mortgage rates comes more market volatility , a weaker job market, recession risks , and new inflation fears. A lot is impacting the housing market, and in a time when nothing seems to make sense, Dave is breaking down the logic behind why mortgage rates are falling even as the Fed pauses . First, let’s talk about the good news : mortgage rates dropping half a percentage point from their three-month high to hit a new 2025 low. This is great news for buying real estate but may signal a bigger, more substantial economic shift . The bad news? Americans are growing fearful of the economy. A recession seems like it’s still in the cards, unemployment is rising, high-paying jobs are getting terminated left and right, and everything costs more. With all that taken into account, what should YOU, a real estate investor, do right now to ensure you still build wealth regardless of which direction the market moves? Should you lock down a mortgage rate now or wait for even greater interest rate relief? Stick around; Dave is giving a full analysis of today’s economic state. In This Episode We Cover A new 2025 mortgage rate LOW as rates drop below the 7% threshold Why Americans are pinching pennies and fearing for the economy Is a recession still possible , or are we close enough to a “soft landing”? How tariffs, inflation , and job losses (NOT the Fed ) are moving mortgage rates What investors should do NOW if they’re under contract (or will be) for their next property And So Much More!

Only two months into 2025, Zillow has significantly changed its original housing market prediction . With rising inventory, suppressed buyer demand from high mortgage rates, and sluggish market sentiment, Zillow’s home price forecast has been downgraded . Why the change, and what data is leading Zillow to project little or no home price growth this year? Orphe Divounguy , Senior Economist at Zillow, is on to share. With a downgraded forecast, the question becomes: is the housing market leveling off , or could we be in store for home price dips? How will rent prices be affected with the massive wave of multifamily construction finally starting to taper off? With less supply coming online, will these units get absorbed, resulting in higher rents for single-family homes ? Have we finally reached the supply-demand equilibrium, putting the housing market on pause ? What’s the one thing that could reignite buyer demand and lead to home price appreciation? Or, is this the new normal, and with little interest rate relief in sight, are we headed for years of a stagnant housing market? We’re getting Orphe’s expert take! In This Episode We Cover Zillow’s new February 2025 housing market forecast (and the sizable home price forecast downgrade) Why home prices are stagnating , and the one crucial factor causing this Mortgage rate predictions and whether we’ll see some real rate relief this year Single-family and multifamily rent price predictions for 2025 (which will see the most growth?)

ICE’s February 2025 Mortgage Monitor report is out, revealing new data that may signal a “shift” in the housing market . Could these changes lead housing to bounce back or break down? One worrying metric is beginning to rise, but could it cause a downward spiral for the rest of the housing market? We’re uncovering it all on this episode with ICE’s Andy Walden . From mortgage delinquencies to interest rate fluctuations, insurance overhauls, and more buyer power, the housing market is changing quickly. We’ll first talk about why a specific subset of homeowners is becoming increasingly delinquent on their mortgage payments. This group makes up a significant portion of the market, but could this uptick trigger a rise in foreclosures ? California’s wildfires became one of the costliest natural disasters in history, and with insurance providers already struggling, you may begin to feel the fiery effects on your next insurance bill regardless of where you live. Finally, some great news for buyers as Andy shares his optimistic forecast for mortgage rates and housing inventory , making it easier for you to buy your next property. In This Episode We Cover The worrying housing market metric that could signal distress among homeowners Whether California’s wildfires could cause your insurance rates to jump Foreclosure activity and why it isn’t vastly increasing as unemployment rises and inflation melts away spending power Andy’s 2025 mortgage rate forecast and when rates could fall this year Why homebuyers could have even better choices come this spring homebuying season And So Much More!

There’s one key housing market factor that leads to home price growth . It doesn’t have to do with interest rates , property taxes , or weather. This single metric is the strongest predictor of your home price rising, staying stagnant, or falling. If you know where this metric is peaking, you can follow a data-driven trail to housing markets that will soon have higher home prices and get in before the masses. What’s the secret metric we’re talking about? Well, it’s not so much of a secret. This metric is easy to find online and can help you pinpoint markets with the highest potential for price growth . So, if it’s so easy to find, why isn’t every real estate investor using it? Mainly because most investors don’t know how important this metric is. But today, we’re showing you exactly how to track where home prices could rise , how to pinpoint the neighborhoods within your market that could experience high price growth, and why this easily available predictive metric may change as the economy shifts. In This Episode We Cover The number one way of predicting whether home prices will grow in an area How this metric strongly influences migration and brings more demand to cities Where to find this data for free and the easy way to predict home price growth Trends to start watching now that could foretell which cities will rise (and shrink) How to find the fast-growing (and stable) neighborhoods to invest in within your city And So Much More!

Is now the time to stop investing and start saving cash instead? As an “asset bubble” balloons larger and larger, every investment is looking overpriced.

Tariffs and trade wars could affect mortgage rates much more than most Americans think. You’ve heard on the news that tariffs on Canada mean higher gas prices, tariffs on Mexico mean a bigger grocery bill, and tariffs on China lead to electronics and appliances becoming even more expensive. However, as a real estate investor or homeowner waiting to refinance , the key number to watch for the impact of tariffs is interest rates . Today, we’re breaking down how the tariffs will affect you , which prices will rise , which real estate investments will become even more costly, and how interest rates have been held hostage by tariff threats. If tariffs are contributing to the current high mortgage rates, could tariff concessions lead to lower rates ? If President Trump can work out deals with trade partners, would this mean a cheaper mortgage payment? We’re breaking down tariffs, trade wars, rising prices, and how they’ll affect your real estate investments . In This Episode We Cover New tariff update : which countries have reached a deal and which are currently tariffed Why mortgage rates are surprisingly affected by tariffs and trade wars Who pays the tariffs once they’re in place (most Americans have this WRONG ) A post-tariff inflation prediction and whether we’ll bump back to pandemic inflation levels Trump’s two primary goals for imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China And So Much More!

With evidence of a global recession piling up, Americans have just one question— will we be affected? So far, everything is going well for the US. Job growth continues, unemployment is low, and asset prices are high, but with the global economy becoming increasingly interlinked, could a crash in Europe or Asia pull us down with them? Mark Zandi , Chief Economist of Moody's Analytics , has a contrarian viewpoint that defies the masses. But Mark has bigger worries than a global recession taking down the US economy. We could be our own worst enemy as “tinder” for an interest rate fire begins to pile up , and the bond market may be more than ready to light it. Even with President Trump’s push for lower interest rates and the Fed pausing rate cuts , could we see mortgage rates fly up higher, defying the system meant to keep them in check? Plus, what does DeepSeek’s entry into the AI race mean for the US economy? Could this cheaper, sleeker AI bring serious competition not only to the US AI market but also to chip manufacturers whose stock prices have been carrying the market to record highs? It’s a lot to unpack, but Mark does a phenomenal job laying it all out.

Which real estate trends could make you wealthier in 2025 ? Every year, it’s something new. A few years ago, it was short-term rentals, then mid-term rentals and multifamily investing took over. Now, the housing market has changed once again, and those same real estate investing trends aren’t so hot. So, what can you invest in NOW that gives you the highest return on the market before other investors realize it? Today, we’re touching on three housing market trends that will skyrocket in 2025 . Two of these are investing strategies that are making savvy investors serious money , and one is something EVERY single investor (and homeowner) must be aware of, or you could be stuck with a property bleeding money. We’ll talk about the increase in “density” investing exploding demand for one often-overlooked type of asset, what to do when your cash flow is low in the wake of rising expenses, and why the silver tsunami may become the cash flow tsunami for one specific property. In This Episode We Cover The one investment property that can make you $10,000 - $15,000 per MONTH in cash flow (it’s way smaller than you think) Why local governments are pushing investors to build “dense” housing units Is cash flow dead as expenses rise and rents stay stagnant? Why smart investors are selling some of their properties that don’t meet THIS criteria When James says to NOT build an ADU (or DADU) on your property And So Much More!

Could Trump’s proposed tariffs be the reason for the recent rise in mortgage rates ? Could this slow the housing market and cause affordability to get worse? What happens if rates stay higher for longer and more homebuyers get kicked out of the market? We’re talking to Redfin’s Chen Zhao about how tariffs will affect you and the surprising findings from a new homeowner survey foreshadowing something none of us wanted to see about housing inventory. Tariffs could change many things: they could increase construction costs for houses, lead to higher inflation and higher mortgage rates , or put jobs back into American communities. Does the market believe the Trump administration will go forward with their flat tariff for most countries? Or will they pick and choose specific exporters within specific countries to tack a tariff onto? Plus, why are sixty percent of homeowners planning NOT to sell their homes in the near future or…ever? If higher mortgage rates remain, will all those homeowners with low mortgage rates stay put without downsizing or moving, locking up housing inventory tighter than it currently is? It’s possible, potentially leading to long-term declines in real estate prices . But don’t worry, Chen breaks down the entire timeline. In This Episode We Cover Trump’s tariffs and the effect they’re having on mortgage rates Redfin’s shocking new homeowner survey that points to more locked-up inventory Is a real estate price correction coming? Why prices could slump after rising Whether or not the market thinks Trump will go forward with vast tariff proposals Why interest rates could stay higher for longer than many of us expected And So Much More!

The housing market is changing. Some once- hot markets are showing signs of becoming buyer's markets , giving you a better opportunity to snag your next real estate deal . With days-on-market growing but underlying fundamentals looking strong, this could be one of the best times to buy houses in cities that have phenomenal long-term potential but haven't heated up again to become seller's markets. Why not skip the competition and buy in great markets beginning to cool? Today, we share some of the best markets to buy in, with the biggest investment opportunities . Data scientist Austin Wolff is back to talk about the "coldest" markets that have the best buying potential and some affordable cities that still have below-average home prices but well above-average housing market metrics. We're talking about why these buyer's markets are suddenly emerging, Dave's favorite "cold" market with serious potential, Kathy's famous money-making market seeing massive job growth, and what to look for when buying in these (temporarily) chilled housing markets. In This Episode We Cover The new buyer's markets that boast solid housing market fundamentals Why some of the nation's top markets are seeing days-on-market rise Have homeowners finally accepted this new normal and are ready to sell? Kathy's number one tip when buying and rehabbing older homes The neighborhoods Dave's looking to buy in (long-term rent growth potential) And So Much More!

We’ve got great news for investors , agents, lenders, and first-time homebuyers : housing inventory is about to rise…big time . After years of limited inventory, with homebuyers fighting tooth and nail to get into just about any home, the tide is finally turning. Rick Sharga from CJ Patrick Company brings new data and insight to the show, sharing why we could return to pre-pandemic housing inventory levels by the end of 2025 . Why is that good news for so many of us? Because home prices could slow , if not drop, in some markets as buyers get a better selection of houses to choose from . Those “locked-in” owners with rock-bottom interest rates have waited long enough to sell, and 2025 could be the time they put their homes on the market. But if a new wave of inventory hits the housing market , are we at risk of a home price correction or a crash? Rick shares what the data shows and why investors are so pessimistic about the current housing market , even with the inventory forecasts looking so good. Will foreclosures rise again as consumer debt hits an all-time high? Could more off-market deals be in the pipeline in 2025? We’re asking Rick and getting answers to all those questions in today’s show. In This Episode We Cover A historic housing inventory rebound and why this is great news for buyers, agents, and lenders Whether home prices will grow, stabilize, or crash with so much new inventory coming online The new Investor Sentiment Survey and why optimism fell off a cliff in Q4 2024 The single-biggest worry for rental property investors in 2025 and why it may get worse How to still find motivated sellers even with foreclosures at low levels And So Much More!

Will these cities become the best real estate markets of 2025 ? Norada Real Estate Investments, a turnkey real estate provider, thinks so. So today, we brought back data analyst Austin Wolff and short-term rental expert Garrett Brown to give their takes on the markets Norada is calling some of the hottest for this year. Some make complete sense to us, but we’re a bit cautious of others. That being said, the number one market on the list is one we can ALL agree with. Austin and Garrett are on today to give both a long-term and short-term rental perspective . Some of these cities show tremendous economic growth, but will that be enough for an Airbnb to succeed in the area? Could stricter short-term regulations make long-term rentals a better option in these cities? We’re diving into each of the top five cities and giving our thoughts on which investments will work, which won’t, and whether we’d buy there . Plus, the number one market on the list is getting us all very excited . With massive economic upside and fundamentals that make it great for long- and short-term rentals, this is one market every investor should watch closely—or even consider buying in. In This Episode We Cover Norada’s top real estate markets of 2025 (and whether we agree with them) 2025’s number-one real estate investing city that we are all extremely bullish on Criteria you can use to judge any real estate investing area (economy, housing supply , etc.) Why some of the top cities do NOT make good short-term rental markets One city that is currently struggling but has tremendous future potential And So Much More!

There will be some huge changes to the real estate market not only in 2025 but through 2028. With signs pointing to a supply slowdown, this may be one of the last chances to invest in real estate before prices, rents, and demand significantly rise . So today, right at the start of 2025, bringing on co-host and expert flipper James Dainard and multifamily expert (who correctly predicted the commercial real estate crash ) Brian Burke to share the best strategies for 2025 and beyond. Every year, more and more people say it’s not the right time to buy real estate, only for them to return the next year and wish they had purchased real estate. Let’s make sure that isn’t you in 2026. We’re seeing some massive opportunities , with substantial price cuts in multifamily. But that’s not all; there are single-family deals to be done in markets that the masses overlook entirely. James and Brian even share what they’re trying to buy in 2025 , the markets they think will have the best growth over the next ten years, and why you should be trying your absolute hardest to purchase investment properties before 2027 (we’ll get into why in the episode!).

Interest rates are up yet again, even after multiple Fed rate cuts in 2024. What’s happening, and how long can this last? Bond investors worry inflation is here to stay. This concern forces bond yields—and mortgage rates —to grow. Can Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve do anything to ease investors’ minds or do we have a long road of high rates ahead of us? We’re getting into it in this headlines show! Don’t let rising rates stop you from building wealth; we have more stories that showcase an optimistic future outlook for real estate investors . From an incoming commercial real estate recovery that has been multiple years in the making to sellers finally submitting to the market and putting their homes up for sale , it’s not all bad news going into 2025. One natural disaster-ravaged state finally puts its foot down and forces insurance companies to write policies in risky areas. Is this a much-needed government intervention, or will this shift the burden of high insurance costs onto investors and homeowners? We’re sharing our opinion in this episode! In This Episode We Cover The “bond vigilantes” that are keeping yields high and rates above seven percent Why, even after multiple Fed rate cuts , interest rates continue to rise The commercial real estate recovery and whether we’re at the bottom for this struggling asset class Pricey home insurance premiums and the one state that’s forcing new policies to be written Housing inventory updates and a sign that owners are finally ready to sell their low-rate homes And So Much More!

Are we finally at the end stages of this harsh housing market? With housing inventory increasing, mortgage rates steadily falling, and inflation cooling, we might be returning to a much healthier time to buy a house . But one of these improvements we’ve seen over the past year could begin reversing, and that’s creating some interesting future scenarios. One that even we’re surprised to hear as we bring on top housing market analyst Logan Mohtashami . Logan has referred to 2022-2023’s housing market as “savagely unhealthy,” but he’s a bit more optimistic now that we’re seeing relief. While we’re still not at 2019 inventory levels (which were already low), we’re slowly getting there. However, we could see the positive inventory trend start to reverse, leading to even more affordability problems for homebuyers. So what has to happen for affordability to see meaningful improvement? Today, Logan is giving us his take on housing inventory , where mortgage rates could be heading, and why we may NOT see a spike in home prices even if rates fall significantly (something most analysts are bullish on). In This Episode We Cover Logan’s housing market, mortgage rate, and inventory forecast Why our increasing housing inventory could reverse once rates start to fall The one thing holding affordability back and whether Logan has hopes of it improving Why watching the labor market and jobs numbers will help you predict mortgage rates Were we wrong about the “lower rates = higher home prices” premise?

If you didn’t buy real estate in 2024, you missed out. While all the YouTube crash bros and mainstream media were hyping up how overpriced the real estate market is , we were out buying deals—and we bet many of you were, too! So, as we wind down 2024, we’re looking back on the best real estate deals we did this year and how 2024 turned out to be a much more profitable investing year than any of us would have expected. For some of us, 2024 was our best year yet for real estate investing ! One of us made half a million dollars (yes, $500,000+) on a single real estate transaction . We picked up on-market deals for fifty percent off (while the competition completely overlooked them) and sold house flips for higher-than-asking-price as buyers returned to the market. We’re sharing our actual profit numbers , exactly how much we bought (and sold) some of these properties for, and the tactics we used to beat the masses. If you didn’t invest in 2024, don’t miss out again in 2025 —there are still plenty of great opportunities waiting! In This Episode We Cover Why 2024 was a surprisingly good year for real estate investing (we’re proof!)

Disclaimer: Opinions expressed in this episode and written below are solely opinions of the hosts, guests, and writers and do not reflect the views of BiggerPockets. Is it about to get even worse for NAR ( National Association of Realtors )? After a ground-breaking agent commission lawsuit settlement forced the organization to pay out hundreds of millions, NAR has been on thin ice. They had just come off of a massive change in leadership , with some executives facing sexual harassment accusations , only to have the spotlight put on them once again. But it’s not over. A new investigative piece from The New York Times reporter Debra Kamin uncovers a web of hidden donations to political groups that many NAR members aren’t aware of. NAR, the largest lobbyist group in the country, is well-known for donating to political causes that benefit their industry. However, it seems those donations heavily lean to one side of the political spectrum . So, is this a problem? Could it even be illegal? Debra reveals that many of these donations go to groups unrelated to real estate , leaving some members frustrated with how their dues are being spent. Could this be the final blow to NAR, paving the way for more competition among real estate agent organizations? Debra is on to break the story. In This Episode We Cover The new investigation on where NAR “donations” and member dues are going NAR’s recent turmoil with massive lawsuits, sexual harassment accusations, and more What do realtors think of their dues being spent on fringe political causes?

“Return to office” mandates from the tech and finance industries are coming rapidly. But they’re not just going back to the downtown areas. Return to office (RTO) calls could cause a surprisingly beneficial boost to suburban areas , even as employees are forced back into the office. This has enormous effects on landlords and real estate investors, as the hottest place to own a home might actually be somewhere outside of the city center. Matt Reidy , Director of CRE Economics at Moody’s Analytics , joined us to give a full update. Matt talks about the potential office comeback that could be taking place and the one type of office investment that is outperforming the rest. However, office vacancies are still at an all-time high, and companies are starting to get creative. Could a move into the suburbs help entice employees by keeping commute times minimal? This could be great news for residential investors outside the cities, as “live, work, play” environments could become a hot commodity. In This Episode We Cover Why more companies are looking for suburban offices to win back employees The revival of downtowns and why they’re growing, even with high office vacancy One type of office investment that’s outperforming the competition significantly Rent price growth predictions for 2025 and 2026 Whether office work is here to stay or the “hybrid” model will become the new norm And So Much More!

Discounted real estate deals could be coming THIS winter as the housing market begins to “thaw.” Today, Dave is flying solo, bringing you a housing market update on all the crucial factors real estate investors are looking at—home prices , mortgage rates , housing supply, and rent prices . Even with home sales falling by a massive margin, home prices are still at all-time highs, and the housing market is “stuck,” but we could see some sellers taking price cuts this winter if you’re willing to take advantage. Okay, but how can home prices still be THIS high when the total home sales are twenty percent lower than average and around fifty percent under the recent highs? It’s simple— affordability struggles . High rates, high prices, and “locked-in” homeowners staying in place keep the market frozen. So, why does Dave believe sellers will be more inclined to drop their prices this winter ? Where does he believe interest rates will be by the end of the year? And what’s the one thing that could get the housing market “unstuck” ? In This Episode We Cover Why Dave believes real estate deals are coming THIS winter Mortgage rate predictions and how low rates could go by the end of this year Whether to buy now or wait for affordability to improve , prices to drop, and rates to fall Why home prices are still rising EVEN with homebuyer demand plummeting The MASSIVE drop in home sales since the pandemic boom and why prices have remained high And So Much More!

Did economic sentiment decide the 2024 presidential election? For many Americans, the economy was top of mind when deciding who to vote for in this past election. With inflationary worries, high home prices and mortgage rates , and general unaffordability , many Americans chose President-Elect Trump to turn the economy around. So, what does the housing market look like under Trump’s economy? And how will proposed changes (like tariffs ) influence home prices? Matthew Walsh from Moody’s Analytics is on to give us some context about consumer sentiment, future home prices and mortgage rates, and what tariffs mean for the average American. Matthew brings up a good point: Even with inflation steadily declining, most Americans are still experiencing sticker shock due to our constant comparison of pre-pandemic pricing. Even with the economy doing well, it’s easy to understand why Americans feel in a worse spot than five years ago. So, with inflation cooling, will housing affordability catch up? A big part of affordability is mortgage rates, and with the Fed cutting rates , are we on the cusp of a return to (somewhat) normalcy? Matthew shares the shocking statistic on what mortgage rates would have to be for us to reach 2019 levels of affordability . Finally, we’re talking about tariffs and how higher prices for homebuilding could translate to your final home price. In This Episode We Cover Consumer sentiment and how American finances influenced the 2024 presidential election How low mortgage rates would have to go for us to get back to 2019 affordability levels What Trump’s tariff proposal means for homebuilders and home prices Moody’s 2025 and 2026 home price appreciation forecast Why mortgage rates aren’t falling even after the Fed lowered their federal funds rate And So Much More!

Has the Federal Reserve gone too far? Many Americans are critical of the Fed’s move to raise interest rates sharply, pause for years, and then slowly start implementing rate cuts. The arguably most prominent critic of the Fed ? President-Elect Donald Trump , who, shortly after nominating the current Fed chair, Jerome Powell , reversed his opinion on whether Powell was the right person for the job. Now, with Trump coming back to the White House, Powell’s job hangs in jeopardy—or does it? Can a President fire the Fed chair? Does the President have the authority to influence how the Fed operates? What would happen if Trump decided to go after Powell and request his resignation? Nick Timiraos , reporter at The Wall Street Journal and Federal Reserve expert, is on to answer these questions. Nick gives us the latest update on rate cuts , where the Fed is headed, how the future of the Fed looks with Trump back in office, and why some politicians champion “Fed Independence,” while others argue that Fed power has overstepped its bounds. Are Trump and Powell more aligned than they think, and is this government drama all talk? We’re getting Nick’s expert viewpoint on it all. In This Episode We Cover Why “Fed Independence” could actually be a crucial piece to keeping the economy stable Whether or not Trump has the authority to fire and replace a Fed chair Future rate cuts , inflation concerns, and the Fed’s latest “signal” on rates Powell’s simple response when asked if he would resign because of Trump ’s request Why the Fed does NOT have to answer to the President (and is this a good thing?)

Most people are missing out on what could be the best real estate investments of 2025 . Why? Most investors don’t even know about them or have never had access to invest in them before. Today, we’re talking to Fundrise CEO Ben Miller about how he’s taking these once elite-only investments and making them available for the average investor . These investments, for the most part, beat out regular rental properties with sizable returns and way less work. So, what’s the catch? Is there a catch? If you want to get ahead of the curve and know the investments that smart money (managing BILLIONS of dollars) is making, our interview with Ben truly delivers. We’re getting into how “debt” investors are making serious money off of lending to real estate investors (just like you) and the almost unbeatable returns they’re collecting, plus the new type of investment Fundrise is opening up for regular investors. This is a first, as everyday investors have seldom been able to break into this asset class. Finally, Ben gives us his outlook for the 2025 economy and why he’s feeling a bit anxious, even with so many economic factors falling into place for a soft landing. In This Episode We Cover The one real estate investment making regular double-digit returns with significantly less work Why housing inventory could shrink even with our massive multifamily “oversupply” The “securitized” real estate elite investors used to have a monopoly on (you can get in on it now) Venture capital and why Ben is bullish on AI companies for 2025 and beyond The surprisingly solid state of the economy and why Ben feels anxious (and you might, too) And So Much More!

Everyone is awaiting the 2024 presidential election results —especially homebuyers. As mortgage rates rise again, potential homebuyers are sitting on the sidelines, hoping that the next president could make it a little easier to purchase a house. Is this housing market slowdown just a temporary phenomenon before the biggest political event of the past four years, or could this last well into the winter? We’re covering it on this headlines show! Could a “Trump trade” push bond yields up and mortgage rates as well? Some economists are betting that a Trump presidency would mean higher mortgage rates . We’ll also talk about California’s Prop 33 , which, if passed, could allow more stringent rent control on landlords in the Golden State. With rising costs for property owners, could this lead to landlords selling their rentals to escape California’s tenant-friendly laws? If you want to escape the election cycle, we’ve got you covered. Our last story touches on the best companies for career growth , and if you’re trying to up your skills (and your income) next year, applying for a job at any of these companies could help you!

Evictions suck—for everyone . They’re bad for the property owner , the tenant , and America as a whole. On the lowest end of the spectrum, evictions cost Americans over $14,000,000,000 (that’s BILLION) per year . With this massive sum spent on court fees, attorneys, moving trucks, and lost rent, how do we STOP evictions before they happen? What can landlords do to ensure they NEVER have to kick out another tenant for nonpayment? Today, we’re discussing the true cost of evictions and how to avoid them. We’ve brought our own Market Intelligence Analyst, Austin Wolff , back to the show to share how much evictions cost for the landlord, how much they cost to the tenant, and how much they cost society. We’re breaking down which costs hurt real estate investors the most during the process and how long it may take you to get a non-paying tenant out of your house. Once you’ve been seriously sticker-shocked by the price of an eviction, James brings us some actionable steps he uses daily to avoid evictions at his rentals. He recently had one of the worst evictions, costing him SIX FIGURES. He shares what to do so this DOESN’T happen at your investment property, plus the type of rental you can provide that attracts the highest-quality tenants . In This Episode We Cover The astronomically high cost of evictions in the United States How long evictions usually take , and why they often drag out months (or even years) The cost of an eviction to a tenant and the fees they have to pay once they’re forced to leave How to avoid evictions from the start by following some quick tips from James The key to maintaining a high rent collection rate in your rental portfolio (fewer evictions) What to do if you inherit tenants you suspect WON’T pay once you purchase the property Overall economic impacts of evictions and why we MUST reduce them And So Much More!

Which generation is taking control of the housing market? With Baby Boomers sitting on an enormous amount of equity -based wealth , younger generations now have to do their part to get in the game, but who is faring best? Gen Z is hungry to get into homeownership, but with their high cost of living, credit card and student debt, and low affordability, will they be a forever-renter generation? What about Millennials , many of whom were financially shell-shocked after leaving college and entering the workforce during the Great Financial Crisis? And don’t worry, Gen X , we didn’t forget you (even though almost everyone else did). Today, Dave and each of our experts have taken one generation to report on. We’ll talk about Gen Z , Millennials, Gen X, and Baby Boomers—how much wealth they hold, their debts, whether or not they’re buying houses , and how they could affect the future housing market. Plus, we’ll touch on the financial mentality behind each generation and whether or not they have what it takes to become homeowners. Finally, will the “ Silver Tsunami ” ever happen when Baby Boomers pass away and the flood of Boomer-owned houses hits the market? We’ll discuss the likelihood of this happening and whether or not the growing trend of “aging in place” could keep our housing inventory at rock bottom. In This Episode We Cover Why Gen Z is so poised to start buying real estate (but will they be able to?) The Baby Boomers’ massive amount of equity wealth that may benefit the future generations The largest generation of homebuyers that is still actively looking for places to live Why this “forgotten generation” might be one of the wealthiest to come The chance of a “Silver Tsunami” and what happens when Boomers pass down their housing wealth And So Much More!

Does it feel like we’re in a recession ? People are constantly discussing layoffs , many Americans are in credit card debt , home ownership seems unachievable, and you probably feel like you should be making more money based on how expensive everything is. But, on the other hand, inflation is down, stocks are up, and unemployment is still (relatively) low. This is what Nicole Lapin would refer to not as a recession but a “ vibecession ;” it feels like we’re in a recession, even if we aren’t. As a renowned journalist, author, and money-minded podcast host of Money Rehab , Nicole is one of the best in the industry to come on and explain the state of the American consumer , why they feel so negative toward the economy, and what good news we have going into 2025. Nicole is breaking down exactly why Americans feel so disconnected from our growing economy and the reason consumers are getting frustrated. But it’s not just bad vibes (okay, enough with the Gen-Z verbiage); there are “bright spots” in the economy that few are paying attention to. These data points come close to proving that we may be out of recession territory and confirm that the Fed did achieve its “soft landing.” Are we on our way to finally feeling good about the economy again? In This Episode We Cover Why it feels like we’re in a recession even though the economy is growing The disconnect between men and women and who’s more optimistic in 2024 Did the Fed actually achieve their soft landing and an inflation rate update The good news on wage growth (with a BIG caveat) Rising credit card debt and whether or not this is a precursor to economic crisis The “bright spots” in the economy that point to some good news for Americans And So Much More!

Housing affordability in America is the lowest it’s been in forty years . Every year, there are fewer and fewer affordable places to buy a house, and many of the cities that used to be affordable have become so popular that they’re now the pricey ones. Are there any affordable housing markets left , and if so, which ones should investors pay the most attention to? We did a new data analysis on American housing markets to bring the exact list to you today. Austin Wolff , our own BiggerPockets market intelligence analyst, spent some time analyzing housing markets that not only have job, population, and wage growth but also have affordable home prices perfect for investors. Today, he’s sharing this new list, along with some of the least affordable housing markets that are nearly impossible to break into without millions of dollars. But is America the only country suffering from a stubborn unaffordability crisis? Many of the top economies are also feeling the sting of high inflation , limited real wage growth, and strong home price appreciation . But are we doing better or worse than many of the top developed countries? We’re sharing those stats, too! In This Episode We Cover America’s affordable housing crisis explained , and whether it’s going to get better or worse Most affordable housing markets with job, population, and income growth Comparing American home prices vs. other top economies’ home prices The least affordable real estate markets with the highest home-price-to-wage ratios The single most affordable city in the United States that could be an excellent investing market And So Much More!

While short-term rentals are seeing slowing demand, mid-term rentals are taking off (and fast). Mid-term rentals, also called medium-term rentals or MTRs, are thirty-day or longer stays, usually for traveling professionals or those who need temporary housing while relocating . These rentals give you more rent than a regular long-term rental, less turnover than short-term rentals , and can be successful in even the most average of markets. Where are MTRs heading next? We brought on Jeff Hurst , CEO of the leading MTR listing website Furnished Finder , to share the data he’s seeing. Jeff believes MTRs are still years away from peaking in demand and supply. But maybe he’s a little biased as someone who works in the field. Even as an industry insider, Jeff brought some solid stats that show that MTR is far from falling off the investing map . He’s so bullish on this strategy that he believes MTR is now where Airbnb was in 2012. But what should you do to get in on MTR investing? Jeff shares the best MTR markets and signs for whether or not your city could be a great place to try it, plus the surprising property type that works best for this strategy (MUCH more affordable than short-term rentals) and how landlords and investors can find tenants WITHOUT going through pricey booking platforms. In This Episode We Cover The state of the mid-term rental market and why it’s looking much brighter than short-term rentals Mid-term rental investing explained , and who’s staying at these properties Why rural markets actually make terrific mid-term rental investing areas How to start investing in mid-term rentals WITHOUT owning a single property ( rental arbitrage ) How to find tenants for your mid-term rentals without paying high listing fees The (surprisingly) small property types that work best for mid-term rentals And So Much More!

America is experiencing a strange housing supply problem. On one hand, we don’t have enough housing supply nationally; on the other, we have too much housing supply in cities like Austin and Fort Myers, and as a result, these cities are seeing significant rent declines . Meanwhile, rents are still going strong in much of the Midwest, as their supply-constrained markets give landlords and real estate investors the upper hand. But, even in the “oversupplied” markets, is there a chance for rent price redemption in the future? We brought on BiggerPockets’ own Market Intelligence Analyst, Austin Wolff , to share his latest findings on housing supply. Austin talks about why rents are growing in some parts of the US but declining in more oversupplied markets. But with the slowing down of construction, will these oversupplied markets become undersupplied ? Will landlords in these markets be happy they held onto their properties in a few years? Austin also shares the exact market he’s making his first real estate investment , which boasts high demand but has yet to see a significant supply bump for his asset class. Does higher supply always mean lower rents? Not quite, and we’ll get into why in this episode! In This Episode We Cover The state of our 2024 housing shortage problem and why we may be under and oversupplied Where rent prices are falling and the cities with the most supply coming online When demand could finally “catch up” to the high supply these markets are experiencing The correlation between supply and rent prices (and why they aren’t ALWAYS opposite) Long-term rent projections as building starts to slow and demand stays high And So Much More!

**UPDATE: We recorded this episode on October 1st, as North Carolina was beginning to recover from the damage caused by Hurricane Helene and before Hurricane Milton had formed. We approached this episode as an exercise in economic analysis -- an in-depth market analysis should include a deeper assessment of environmental risk than we had time for in this discussion. And of course, no investment is more important than human lives and safety. If you’d like to contribute to ongoing recovery efforts, please consider doing so here . We talk a lot about the overall housing market, but what about the best states to invest in real estate ? A state on the East Coast might see solid rents, booming business growth, and low inventory, while somewhere on the West Coast could be experiencing the opposite. At a state level, factors like economic strength, job growth, income tax , and others can greatly impact where Americans live and rent . So, which states would WE happily invest in now? Today, we’re sharing the four states we feel bullish about in 2024 , specifically for economic growth. And when there’s economic growth, there’s usually excellent investing prospects. You may have thought about investing in a few of these states before, and one of them you may have forgotten was even a state (sorry to those residents), but all of them boast real estate investing potential that many other parts of the US lack. And, during a time when home prices are still high, some of these markets are seeing what could be a temporary decline, opening up the potential for you to go in and scoop up deals before their real estate markets begin to rebound. Which states are we most confident about? Stick around to find out! In This Episode We Cover Four states with booming economies and serious real estate investing opportunity The tiny state with below-average home prices and most of the Fortune 500 companies A southern state boasting serious potential as its real estate values try to recover A “treasure hunting” housing market that may be overcorrecting a little too much Why more tech is moving into this East Coast state and pumping up its property market And So Much More!

Did immigrants help keep landlords afloat during this tough housing market? New data may be pointing to just that. Today, we’re discussing one rarely mentioned housing market factor— immigration and immigrant renters. We’re talking about documented AND undocumented immigrants, asylum seekers, and what the effect of the massive influx in immigration has been on the renting market. John Burns from John Burns Research and Consulting, joined by VP of Demographics Eric Finnigan , is back on the show to discuss immigration, household formation, migration patterns, mortgage rates , and the effects each of these factors has on the housing market. With immigration exploding (we’re in one of the largest immigration years EVER ), the next obvious question is: how is this affecting rents/available homes? John and Eric bring in new data to share how immigration may have “bailed out” landlords during the worst parts of the market. But that’s not all. We also touch on John Burns Research’s newest house-flipping survey and how flippers are surviving (thriving?) in today’s market. Why are builders becoming more bullish on the housing market? And could the recent mortgage rate cuts open the spigot of homebuyer demand in this already supply-constrained market? We’re digging into the data that answers these questions in today’s show. In This Episode We Cover The newest immigration and housing data pointing to some surprising conclusions for landlords Why immigrants crossing the southern border are NOT just settling in border towns How immigrants may have “bailed out” multifamily investors struggling to fill units New multifamily supply and why builders are becoming more bullish in today’s market Whether or not lower mortgage rates will lead to higher home prices The state of house flipping in 2024 and whether flippers are still making money And So Much More!

Mortgage rates are finally falling, and Redfin is predicting a “brighter” housing market. Who’s leading the charge in new homebuyers? Surprisingly, the generation nobody expected— Gen Z . How are they doing it, and why are their homeownership rates so much higher than Millennials and Gen Xers at the same age? We’re digging into it and sharing our forecasts of what the coming housing market will look like. But to understand where we’re headed, we have to peak inside the personal finances of Americans. In this episode, we’re breaking down the average American’s wallet, how much money they have, their credit card debt , and whether they’ll be able to weather the financial storm of rising costs coming at them. How can Americans cope with higher insurance, taxes, and home prices? Why is Redfin so optimistic about the 2025 spring homebuying market? And what are we seeing right now in our own markets in terms of buyer demand? Have lower mortgage rates finally crossed the threshold where Americans feel comfortable buying a house? We’ll touch on all of today’s latest headlines in this show!

Are real estate syndications dead? Some multifamily syndicators are making capital calls and hiding information from investors who anxiously wait (and pray) for their money to be returned. A lot is going wrong, so should you pause investing in real estate syndications for now, or should you write them off entirely? Brian Burke , who saw it coming and sold almost everything before prices fell, is on today to give us his answer. Joining him is a fellow syndication investor and BiggerPockets CEO, Scott Trench , who’s had his fair share of syndication headaches over the past few years. We’re going back in time, talking about what exactly went wrong for multifamily syndications , why we saw a rise in untrustworthy/inexperienced syndicators entering the market, and why multifamily specifically is taking the majority of the headwinds. We’re also sharing the numbers on the almost unbelievable amount of multifamily investors who have short-term loans coming due , all at a time when interest rates are still high and values are close to (if not at) the bottom. We’ll even talk about our own failed deals and whether or not we’d continue investing in syndications. In This Episode We Cover Real estate syndications , general partners, and limited partners explained Why the multifamily real estate market is a “traffic collision” in 2024 Areas of the country with the highest/lowest risk for real estate syndications The astonishing amount of distressed investors with short-term loans coming due Our own failed investments and whether we’d still invest in syndications When multifamily real estate investments could finally rebound and become investable again And So Much More!

The Fed’s recent rate cut signaled something clear about the US economy , but what are they trying to say? With a bolder rate cut than many of us expected, homebuyers, business owners, and real estate investors are seeing the light at the end of the high-rate tunnel, where borrowing money and buying houses could come at a lower cost . But with markets already anticipating a rate cut, did the recent cut even really matter? Today, Federal Reserve reporter from The New York Times , Jeanna Smialek , shares her thoughts on what the Fed move meant after studying them full-time for over a decade. Jeanna believes that the Fed feels confident , even if this recent rate cut was overdue. Inflation has seen a substantial dropoff, but on the other hand, unemployment is rising , and Americans are getting nervous. Did the Fed move fast enough? Jeanna also shares the future rate cuts we can expect from the Fed, with more potentially coming this year and a sizable series of cuts already lined up for 2025 . How significant will the cuts be, and will they be enough to stop unemployment from getting out of control? How will rent prices and home prices move due to more rate cuts? We’re answering it all in this episode! In This Episode We Cover The Fed’s recent 0.50% rate cut explained and their forecast for 2025 rate cuts The signal the Fed is sending by making a bigger rate cut (and preparing for more to come) Why the Fed decided NOW was the time to finally cut rates (and whether it was too late) Inflation updates and good news for the slowing of growing prices Housing affordability and whether or not these rate cuts will help homebuyers/renters And So Much More!

Your real estate business could fail if you don’t do this right. We’ve seen it happen time and time again. A business finds success, starts growing at lightning speed to capture all the demand, and then burns out, leaving the business owner or investor (i.e., YOU) cleaning up the pieces of spectacular debris. Growing your business can be a HUGE mistake, but scaling it rarely is. Today, we’re teaching you how to do just that— scaling your business to new heights so you can work less , your team (or future team) can accomplish more, and your wealth compounds in the background. And one person on the On the Market panel knows how to scale a business arguably better than anyone else— Kathy Fettke ! Today, Kathy and her husband, Rich , are on to teach you how to start Scaling Smart (which is also the name of their new book!). Kathy and Rich touch on why once-giants like WeWork failed so fast , how overgrowing can kill everything you’ve worked for, how to start hiring (and who to hire first), and the “never enough” trap that can keep you working for years (or decades) longer than you should. Plus, they even coach Henry and James on their own scaling struggles! In This Episode We Cover Why “ scaling ” (NOT growing) your real estate business is the smartest way to build wealth The thirteen questions that will stop you from growing too fast (and failing ) Defining your “why” and the reason most investors burn out even after building wealth When to start hiring employees , and what tasks you should outsource to them Incentivizing employees to work hard for you while they build their own financial freedom Being a “humble leader” and realizing that you’re NOT the best person for every job And So Much More!

Are we finally at the end stages of this harsh housing market? With housing inventory increasing, mortgage rates steadily falling, and inflation cooling, we might be returning to a much healthier time to buy a house . But one of these improvements we’ve seen over the past year could begin reversing, and that’s creating some interesting future scenarios. One that even we’re surprised to hear as we bring on top housing market analyst Logan Mohtashami . Logan has referred to 2022-2023’s housing market as “savagely unhealthy,” but he’s a bit more optimistic now that we’re seeing relief. While we’re still not at 2019 inventory levels (which were already low), we’re slowly getting there. However, we could see the positive inventory trend start to reverse, leading to even more affordability problems for homebuyers. So what has to happen for affordability to see meaningful improvement? Today, Logan is giving us his take on housing inventory , where mortgage rates could be heading, and why we may NOT see a spike in home prices even if rates fall significantly (something most analysts are bullish on). In This Episode We Cover Logan’s housing market, mortgage rate, and inventory forecast Why our increasing housing inventory could reverse once rates start to fall The one thing holding affordability back and whether Logan has hopes of it improving Why watching the labor market and jobs numbers will help you predict mortgage rates Were we wrong about the “lower rates = higher home prices” premise?

How will the Trump and Harris economic plans affect your investing? One candidate is looking to increase affordable housing and give homebuyers a break on their first property. The other plans to keep taxes low so you can save more money. Both are concerned about inflation and rising costs , but will either of their plans correct the national budget deficit we constantly find ourselves in? We’re digging into the 2024 election economics on this BiggerNews episode with economist Joel Naroff . First, we’re discussing what happens economically during elections as Americans brace for a new president. Then, we dive into Harris’ economic plan and stance on inflation, cost of living, and affordable housing . She also has her eye on raising taxes for high-income earners , but will she bring things back to the pre-Trump era? Next, the Trump economic plan . Just like in his presidency, Trump plans to reduce taxes even more , which could help those on social security and those who make their income from tips. The question is, will this loss of tax revenue put too much of a dent in our government’s budget and push us further into a deficit? Could Trump’s pro-tariff stance help stimulate local manufacturing and increase tax revenue from imported goods? We’re answering it all on this BiggerNews! In This Episode We Cover Trump vs. Harris’ economic plans explained and how they may affect investors More affordable housing and Harris’ call to build millions of more housing units Trump ’s plan to push foreign goods out of the US with higher import tariffs Rolling back Trump’s tax cuts and how Harris could increase taxes on corporations and high-earners Social security income and the benefit (but high cost) of lowering taxes on it How both of these plans could affect the national budget deficit And So Much More!

One startup is aiming to end traditional real estate commissions for good. Jobs numbers get their most significant downgrade in over a decade, forcing the Fed to rethink its rate-cutting schedule. And if that wasn’t enough, home sales fell in a historically hot month of the housing market. But are the expert investors worried? In this headlines episode, we’re sharing the latest news affecting the housing market and what YOU can do now to still make money in real estate , no matter the headline hype.

Recession fears are increasing . The stock market has taken substantial hits, housing inventory is climbing , and bank account balances are starting to fall. So, with more economic turmoil, we have to ask: will the housing market crash ? And if we get a housing market crash, how bad (or good) will it be for investors? Could we see a 2008-style selloff, or should we be more prepared for small dips worth taking advantage of? Today, we’re asking two top investors these questions, one of whom literally wrote the book on Recession-Proof Real Estate Investing . J Scott and James Dainard join us on today’s episode to discuss market crash predictions , scenarios, and opportunities for real estate investors. Both J and James experienced the 2008 housing market crash—an economic event almost impossible to forget. But is 2024 shaping up for a sharp decline like 2008 , or will we simply see a slower real estate market like most people had expected when interest rates began to rise? If the market DOES crash, what should you look for to take advantage , and how do you ensure you don’t get caught biting off more than you can chew? J and James break down their game plans if prices fall and why buying now could set you up for wealth ten years from now, IF you can handle the “fear” of buying when others are running from real estate. In This Episode We Cover New housing market “crash” predictions and how low prices could go Why economic “fear” is rising now, and the recession indicators that are going off Rising housing inventory and why experienced investors expected this already The difference between the 2008 housing market crash and today What could cause a housing crash and how to know it’s time to buy The immense opportunities for investors that 99% of Americans will pass up And So Much More!

Are we in a recession ? A lot of people certainly think so. After a surprisingly accurate recession indicator went off weeks ago, more and more Americans have begun to believe that we’re already facing an economic downturn. The problem? We rarely know we’re in a recession until we’re out of one. So, how can we be sure we’re in a recession and not just seeing a boomerang effect from the hot post-pandemic economy? For many Americans, it sure FEELS like a recession . Unemployment has gradually increased, the cost of living has risen significantly over the past few years, and men may be buying fewer pairs of underwear (that’s actually a recession indicator). So, if we are in a recession, what should real estate investors do now to prepare so they don’t get the rug pulled on them before it’s too late? Do you sit tight or start contemplating selling properties ? Dave , Henry , and Kathy all share what they’d do in a recession , the not-so-obvious signs of a recession (or a recession in your specific industry), and whether or not they believe we’ll be in a recession over the next year. If the worst has yet to come, you’ll be able to spot the signs of a coming recession after this episode. In This Episode We Cover Whether or not we’re in a recession right now (and signs of one) The one recession indicator going off that’s pointing to an economic downturn Signs that we’re already in a recession and what we would do during one How to deleverage yourself from riskier properties if the economy starts to slow Whether or not a recession is still in the cards over the next year Why it may be time to start saving once your husband/brother/nephew stops wearing new underwear And So Much More!

Mortgage rates are falling , but the Fed hasn’t made any rate cuts yet. What’s the deal? We’re explaining it all in this August mortgage rate update with repeat guest and lender-friend of the show, Caeli Ridge . Caeli fills us in on today’s mortgage interest rates, why rates are moving without any federal funds rate cuts happening, what could cause rates to go even lower , and whether paying points on your mortgage makes sense in the current market. Good news for investors: interest rates are getting into the high sixes for some rental property loans , but lower rates aren’t always a good thing. With the economy slowing down and inflation (thankfully) seeing some significant progress, unemployment is rising, and better interest rates may come at the cost of a worse economy. But this isn’t a surprise, no matter how unfortunate it is for many workers in today’s market. We’re getting Caeli’s take on the Fed’s next moves , today’s mortgage rates, and what’s in store for future rates. This is crucial commentary from a lender working on loan products for investors in today’s exact interest rate environment, and hearing her may change your next investing move. Dave also gives his opinion on the mortgage rates we could expect to see next year and whether buying or refinancing even makes sense now. In This Episode We Cover August 2024 mortgage rate updates and where investor interest rates are right now Why mortgage rates have been falling WITHOUT the Fed lowering their rates Paying mortgage points and whether or not it’s worth it if rates are continuing to fall The BIG uptick in refinancing and purchasing activity since rates began to fall Where Dave thinks mortgage rates could be next year And So Much More!

Kamala Harris has a plan to make it easier for first-time homebuyers to buy a house, but it comes at the expense of institutional investors. Eviction filings surge throughout the Sunbelt states, EVEN as apartment rent prices fall across all bedroom counts. And could commercial real estate’s struggles lead to you paying even higher property taxes ? We’re getting into it all in today’s headlines show! First, we’re talking about Kamala Harris’ new proposal to kick Wall Street out of the single-family homebuying arena, potentially opening up space for first-time homebuyers to finally break out of renting. The proposal sounds promising, but is it too late to actually impact today’s housing market when institutional investors take up such a small amount of the single-family supply? We’re giving our takes on the new proposal. Apartment rent prices fall across all bedroom counts for the first time in years. But, even with seemingly improving rent affordability, eviction filings have surged across the South. Even with the rent drops, are tenants simply unable to pay such high prices for everything, rent included, in 2024? Lastly, we’re talking about how the decline in commercial real estate and office space has led to cities increasing property taxes , and by no small amount. In This Episode We Cover Whether Kamala Harris ’ anti-Wall Street ownership proposal could work for homebuyers Why apartment rent prices are falling , and whether or not this will continue Single-family rents and why we AREN’T noticing them fall too The real reason evictions have seen such a spike across the Sunbelt states Commercial real estate -caused property tax hikes happening in THESE cities And So Much More!

New “ broker fee ” reform could help tenants save thousands of dollars when finding their next apartment or home to rent, but it could come at a significant cost to landlords . In big cities like Boston and New York , it’s not unusual for landlords to hire a broker to help bring in more potential tenants. The problem is that, unlike the rest of the United States, landlords in these cities DON’T have to pay the broker —the tenant does. But this isn’t some small fee. These broker fees range from eight to fifteen percent of the annual rent , and in pricey Boston or New York City, that could mean thousands of dollars in fees to move into a new place. We brought on StreetEasy Senior Economist Kenny Lee to explain why this antiquated system is still in place and whether or not the reform will go through and help renters. What are the economic implications for the rental market if these reforms are passed? Will this help renters, landlords, or both, and could it actually increase competition in already competitive markets by lowering the barrier to entry for finding a new rental? In This Episode We Cover Boston and NYC’s “broker fees” explained and why they’re so different from the rest of the US How the broker fee reform could change the rental market in big cities The cost of moving and how high broker fees restrict renters who are already struggling What broker fee reform could do to rental property demand in these big cities Broker fee negotiation and what the future looks like for landlords who have to pay these finder’s fees And So Much More!

We’re currently in a home insurance crisis . Everyone (except for Henry, apparently) is feeling the sting of home insurance prices rising significantly year after year. Some investors have seen their homes’ insurance costs double or triple over a few years . This is making it harder not only to protect your property but also to keep your cash flow . What do you do, and can anyone save us from this home insurance crisis? Today, we’re discussing something too big to ignore: your home insurance bill. Premiums are rising fast across coastal states and are starting to creep inland. In this episode, we’re talking about why home insurance prices have gone up so much and so quickly, the state governments actively working to get premium prices down, and what investors MUST do now to limit the price hikes coming down the road. We’re also exploring state-offered insurance programs that help homeowners whose policies have been dropped. Can the government come in and fix our insurance premium problems before it’s too late, or will rising prices lead to home price corrections as affordability suffers? In This Episode We Cover 2024’s home insurance crisis and why premium prices are rising so fast The states with the highest risk of insurance price hikes and what’s causing them Government intervention and how some states are trying to limit rising prices Whether or not higher insurance prices will cause home prices to correct in at-risk areas What investors must do NOW to keep their insurance premiums reasonable Whether people will start fleeing states with the highest insurance costs and move to more affordable areas And So Much More!

A couple of years ago, everyone was expecting an “ Airbnbust ,” where short-term rental investments would sit vacant, hosts would be forced to sell, and hotels would take the reigns as the leaders in hospitality. But that didn’t (exactly) happen . Instead, we got a slightly slower short-term rental market with fewer bookings, some more supply, and a slight dip in revenue for hosts. The short-term rental market is now reaching “equilibrium,” and demand is returning. So, what do hosts need to know now? Jamie Lane from AirDNA , the leading global short-term rental data and analytics company that tracks every listing on the market, is here to give us a mid-year update . Jamie talks about how the short-term rental market is returning to normal , why demand is starting to shoot back up all while prices are dropping, and the “cracks in the system” that could point to future short-term rental weakness . He points out the short-term rental markets with the most growth potential , the oversupplied ones seeing drops in demand, and why the European Airbnb scene, even with its regulations, is exploding. Plus, he’ll share the amenities and policy changes you can make NOW to get more bookings and what to look for BEFORE you buy in a new market. In This Episode We Cover A 2024 short-term rental market update (supply, demand, pricing, and threats) The short-term rentals seeing the least demand , and why this may be worrying for hosts “Fringe” markets that are performing even better than the traditionally popular markets Why hosts are seeing a drop in revenue and the markets with weak demand International travelers returning and the minor tweaks you can make to get more bookings Jamie’s forecast for the rest of the year and why he predicts demand will rise this fall And So Much More!

Why are developers ditching California NOW? Is commercial real estate still struggling , and what’s up with all those empty office buildings all over town? Does it seem like everyone is overpaying for properties nowadays? It’s not just you; we’ve been seeing it, too, but there’s a reason why they’re doing it. Today, we’re touching on hot topics from the BiggerPockets Forums and giving our takes on what investors are seeing in today’s housing market. First, everyone has another reason to bag on California real estate as developers decide to move out of the state , thanks to rising construction costs , long permitting times, and bureaucratic inefficiencies. But in a state with such massive appreciation and high rents, is it really the right move to make? Next, we’re back to the commercial real estate crash , specifically, the office investing space crash , as more and more buildings sit vacant. There’s one way to solve this, and doing so could make you a LOT of money. Who’s got the guts (and the money) to make something out of all those empty offices? Finally, we’re discussing WHY investors commonly overpay for properties and how they may be making money EVEN when you think their offers are ridiculous. Do you have an investing question? Ask it on the BiggerPockets Forums ! In This Episode We Cover The developer departure from California and why builders are ditching the Golden State Changing regulations and how it’s getting harder to build rental units Office space’s continued struggles and the one way investors can solve this problem Overpaying for properties and why investors commonly offer over the ARV (after repair value) How to audit your construction/renovation costs to know if you’re throwing away money on your rehabs And So Much More!

Why is everyone ignoring this one severe housing market trend , what does a 2008 crash predictor think will happen in 2025 , and why are homes starting to sit longer on the market, even with mortgage rates starting to fall? Are all the headlines pointing to housing market havoc or a return to normalization where homes aren’t flying off the market like they were just a few years ago? We’re getting into it all in this headlines episode as we touch on four of the top housing market stories from this week and give our opinions on whether they’re hype or not. First, a market-shifting trend has substantial side effects on the housing market. We’ve talked about this before, but many homebuyers are overlooking it. This trend could push people out of once-popular housing markets and into underrated areas that boast far more future-proofed benefits. What’s the trend we’re talking about? Tune in to find out! We’re also discussing the increase in average days on market (DOM) , why homes are sitting for longer, and whether this is something to be concerned about. Think moving to Washington , Texas , or Florida will save you money due to no income taxes ? Think again because there are some serious downsides to no-income-tax states most investors don’t think about. Finally, we’re analyzing a 2008 crash predictor’s 2025 forecast —could he be right again? In This Episode We Cover The one housing market trend hiding in plain sight that could become a considerable issue soon A 2008 crash predictor’s take on the 2025 housing market and whether home prices will decline Why so many people are reversing on the “great reshuffling” and moving away from sunny states A sizable bump in homes sitting on the market and why it’s taking longer to sell The serious downsides of buying/investing in a no-income-tax state And So Much More!

One of the most reliable recession indicators , the “Sahm Rule,” just issued a “yellow flag” for the economy. Even now, with low unemployment, high spending, and overall economic growth, we aren’t protected from a recession or economic downturn. Will the US economy be able to dodge this recession , and will the Fed be fast enough to save us from falling into a state of high unemployment and meager economic growth? The Washington Post ’s Heather Long joins us to share the latest data on the labor market , unemployment rate , Fed rate cuts , and why this particular recession indicator is going off now. First, we talk about why there is so much positivity in the job market and why most people won’t notice the cracks starting to form. With tech jobs getting slashed and government jobs growing , are we moving in the right direction? Heather also explains a strong recession indicator, the “Sahm Rule,” and why it’s throwing up a “yellow flag” warning even with the hot job market. Finally, we’ll touch on interest rates , whether the Fed will actually come through with a rate cut this year, and how fast future rate cuts could come after the first. In This Episode We Cover The unemployment-based recession indicator that’s throwing up “yellow flags” Which industries are hiring and which are firing in 2024 What the “unemployment rate” really means, and why most people get this wrong Immigration’s HUGE effect on unemployment and how it may be skewing the numbers The Fed’s tricky decision to make and whether rate cuts could help this situation And So Much More!

A new nationwide rent control proposal could cap rent increases for any landlord with a certain amount of properties. But will it actually pass? How would landlords survive when rents can only marginally increase each year while expenses continue to see double-digit percentage price growth ? We’re getting into this story and a few more hard-hitting housing market headlines on today’s episode! First, we’re talking about the new rent cap proposal coming straight from The White House. This could significantly affect anyone who owns a large real estate portfolio or plans to in the future. Is this proposal merely a grab for votes, or could it actually come to fruition? Next, great news for homebuyers, as mortgage rates fall once again , all while completed homes see a sizable boost. Is this a sign that a healthier housing market is to come? Why are international buyers fleeing the US housing market ? Could this end up helping first-time homebuyers who have to fight off less competition? Finally, we talk about the twenty hottest housing markets that are seeing a BIG increase in home viewership. If you own a home in one of these markets, it might be time to consider selling. In This Episode We Cover The newest rent cap proposal that could stop landlords from raising rents higher than five percent each year Mortgage rates drop again, but are more rate cuts coming this year?

For the past four years , everyone, and we mean everyone, has been doing some form of home improvement . All your friends are redoing their kitchens, your spouse keeps asking when you can renovate the bathrooms , and your best friend just built their dream home office with—don’t get too excited—recessed lighting. This was the home renovation boom of the decade, and now, we could be at the tail end of it. With home improvement spending starting to dip , interest rates keeping homeowners from big projects, and labor costs still sky-high, what happens when enough demand leaves the market? Do material prices fall as manufacturers try to lure homeowners back in? Will labor costs soften with contractors waiting for work? We brought on The Wall Street Journal ’s Ryan Dezember to get some answers. In today’s show, we discuss the boom and bust of lumber prices , why home renovations are starting to stall, what impact this could have on materials , and whether or not the home improvement spree will pick back up as new construction starts decline. If you’re planning a home renovation, you'll want to hear this episode before you begin. In This Episode We Cover An update on the home renovation industry and why demand is shrinking Labor costs and the factory-building boom that’s taking away all the contractors The surprisingly old age of most American homes and why so many renovations happened High interest rates and their effects on home improvement project spending Whether or not we’re already in the home renovation “slowdown” and what could happen next And So Much More!

Airbnb bans escalate, a “tsunami” could be coming for this real estate niche , and “sinking” cities lead to skyrocketing insurance prices. The housing market changes every week, so we’re here to break down the headlines and sift through the hype so you know what could impact YOU. Dave Meyer and the entire On the Market panel are here to discuss four of the top real estate-related news stories from this week. First, we discuss the commercial real estate credit crunch that could cause a “tsunami” in the office investing space. Next, one major European city will ban Airbnb by 2028 in an effort to give locals a better chance at buying their first home. Will it work, or is it just a move to get more votes? With the dust of the NAR settlement settling, homebuyers could face thousands in fees to work with an agent, but will this stop homebuying? Before we go over our last headline, make sure you’re standing on solid ground because “sinking” cities are becoming the new norm. Is your home slowly sliding off a cliff? If so, your insurance costs could be rising even higher. We’ll get into this story and the rest of the relevant real estate news on this episode!

The mortgage industry has just been through one of its biggest booms and busts , but some tech-first, cost-saving innovations could improve things for borrowers after this current cycle . During the low-interest rate environment, transactions were at record highs as borrowers rushed to refinance or buy homes at rock-bottom rates. But, once interest rates shot up, the volume stopped, and those in the mortgage industry saw their incomes plummet . Many had to raise prices to keep the lights on, making originating a mortgage even more expensive for borrowers. But things are changing—for the better. Faith Schwartz from Housing Finance Strategies is here to unveil some of the groundbreaking changes the mortgage industry is making and how it could make getting a mortgage more accessible and cheaper for first-time homebuyers and investors. Faith even shares some new loan products we didn’t know about , from mortgages that help low-money-down borrowers to products that allow access to equity without refinancing or using a HELOC (home equity line of credit) . With mortgage origination costs around a whopping $13,000 , Faith walks through the new technology that could dramatically reduce this high price for borrowers and lenders. Plus, an AI and high-tech push from the government could completely flip this often archaic system. If you invest in real estate , want to invest, or work in a real estate-related service, this will seriously impact you! In This Episode We Cover Tech-first solutions that could make originating mortgages cheaper and faster The massive boom and subsequent bust that led to today’s struggling mortgage industry Why originating a loan is SO expensive, and the fees that could be eliminated in the future How the Federal government is creating new policies that help struggling buyers New loan products that can assist first-time homebuyers and those with untapped home equity And So Much More!

Zillow’s latest housing market forecast shows a decline in home prices over the next year after a very slow spring homebuying season. While spring is traditionally the hottest time of the housing market, with more sellers and buyers hitting the market at once, this year was stunted significantly . Will this trend continue as housing inventory remains at rock-bottom levels, or are things gradually improving, with a return to normalcy in sight? We’ve got Dr. Skylar Olsen , Chief Economist at Zillow , on to share the latest forecast and which markets could be in trouble. With mortgage rates still hovering around seven percent, homebuyers and sellers are stuck. Sellers don’t want to trade into a more expensive mortgage payment, and buyers can’t afford today’s median home price. As a result, some under-the-radar, affordable real estate markets are seeing home and rent prices increase , while some traditionally hot markets are already seeing price corrections . Where will the next correction hit , and which markets will have the most opportunity for real estate investors? Skylar explains it all, plus why Zillow updated their recent home price forecast to show a DROP in home values over the next year . In This Episode We Cover Zillow’s updated housing market forecast and why they’re predicting prices to drop The spring homebuying season’s “extra slowdown” and why buying/selling is so stunted Skylar’s 2025 housing market and mortgage rate predictions What happens when mortgage rates get cut, and whether this could fire up the housing market again The real estate markets seeing the most price corrections , plus hot markets Zillow is keeping an eye on Markets with the strongest rent growth (for single-family AND multifamily investors) And So Much More!

“Super cities” are seeing a massive comeback in demand —one that most investors thought was impossible. With work-from-home being scaled back by many major companies, returning to downtown is a no-brainer for high-paid employees. With more amenities than the suburbs, younger workers are being enticed back into the office . And who’s winning with all this boomeranging demand? You guessed it— office investors . We brought CBRE’s Richard Barkham back to give us the latest update on how cities and office investors are faring. Office investing has been heavily criticized over the past few years as vacancies exploded and tenant turnover became increasingly common. Office space was an easy target as remote work became the new norm. However, trends change, and Richard sees a massive investing opportunity in certain office space sectors. But which cities are worth investing in and around? What type of office investments are faring the best? And will we continue to see downtown demand rebound? We’ll get into it all in this episode of On the Market .

Downward pressure on rent prices is causing a “cascade” effect across all unit types. Whether you live in a luxury apartment or budget-friendly multifamily building on a busy street, you’ve probably seen asking rents lowering around you with apartment concession offers in many leasing offices. With multifamily supply hitting “peak completions,” apartment operators have had to tackle rising vacancy rates by lowering rents. But this trend could be reversing soon , just as things were getting more affordable for renters. Jay Parsons , rental housing economist, spends much of his day searching through rental data to find trends pointing to what could happen next. We’ve brought him on to understand why rents are dropping , where they could be heading, and what happens now that multifamily construction is starting to pause. Jay speaks on the rebounding rental demand that’s starting to show, why our “oversupply” of multifamily could quickly become a shortage, which apartment classes are seeing significant rent price discounts, and whether or not these problems could spill over into the single-family rental market . Plus, Jay gives his outlook for the next few years on whether or not rent growth will reaccelerate as multifamily construction starts fall significantly. In This Episode We Cover A rental demand update and why rent prices are getting more affordable What’s causing the recent demand rebound in the multifamily rental market? Why our multifamily “oversupply” could quickly vanish and create a new problem Growing demand for single-family rentals and why these investors may be in a better position When rent growth could reaccelerate and supply could shrink once again One growing risk multifamily investors must be aware of when choosing a market And So Much More!

Will we finally get the rate cuts the Fed hinted at earlier this year? Has the job and housing market taken a big enough hit for us to still be concerned about inflation ? And how are more Americans going mortgage-free during such economic uncertainty? The housing market is changing fast, but we’re here to break down all the latest data from recent headlines as we touch on inflation , rate cuts, housing market competition, foreclosure activity , and more! We know what you want to hear about—rate cuts. We’ll touch on the latest Fed update in our first headline, as the chance of a 2024 rate cut increases with last week’s promising inflation data release. This is good news for homebuyers but may make getting a job (or keeping one) challenging. What do we mean? We’ll explain it all at the start of the show. Next, housing competition begins to drop as inventory increases and homes sit on the market longer. Will this lead to a decrease in home prices over the next year? One top listing site believes so. With all this worry about mortgage rates, many Americans are going in the opposite direction as mortgage-free homeownership steadily increases. This could have long-lasting effects on housing inventory , but when will it hit? Finally, we touch on the increase in foreclosure activity and whether or not it’s a sign of a shaky housing market to come! In This Episode We Cover The Fed’s new rate cut prediction and how big the cut could be in 2024 Inflation rate updates and why financial markets celebrated last week How a spike in new listings could lead to lower competition and on-market houses sitting longer The steady increase in mortgage-free homeownership and what happens when these houses get inherited Why foreclosure activity is starting to rise , but it may not mean what you think And So Much More!

Multifamily sales are at the lowest point in the past four years. We haven’t seen transaction levels this low since the start of the pandemic and after the last housing crash. But, for buyers, this could point to some tremendous opportunities . With fewer sales could come higher cap rates , lower prices , and more profit per dollar spent on your next multifamily deal. The question is, how low will prices go, and when WILL be the right time to buy? Xander Snyder , Senior Commercial Real Estate Economist at First American, joins the show to give us the latest update on multifamily sales, prices, cap rates , and even a prediction for 2025 . Xander strongly argues that multifamily price declines could be far from over. With buyers patiently waiting for sellers to drop their prices and the cost of capital still so high, motivated sellers must act quickly to get a buyer, which could mean more price cuts . We’ll also discuss why cap rates are expanding and how they’ve already jumped fifty percent in some markets. Plus, what could happen to rents as the “oversupply” of multifamily investments hits the market? An even better question is what happens when all that supply gets used up? We’re answering it all in this episode. In This Episode We Cover 2024 multifamily transaction volume updates and why sales are so low Cap rate expansion and why this is great news for buyers (but NOT for sellers) Why multifamily price drops aren’t even close to finished Rent price growth predictions and why multifamily investors shouldn’t be too sure that they can increase rents How our multifamily “oversupply” could quickly become an undersupply What to expect from the multifamily market in 2024 and into 2025 (significant changes!)

Wholesaling real estate may be banned nationwide within a few short years. After a new law was passed in South Carolina prohibiting the practice, other states started to follow their lead, making their own laws that limit or completely restrict wholesaling real estate . Why is this happening now, and if a nationwide wholesaling ban does get passed, are there loopholes for wholesalers to still make money assigning properties? South Carolina real estate attorney Gary Pickren is on the show to explain. Gary is no stranger to wholesaling. He’s quick to tell you how crucial wholesaling has been to his business ’s growth. But Gary isn’t trying to dance around the new laws and pretend that everything will be alright for real estate wholesalers. In fact, Gary believes that this new South Carolina law could change real estate wholesaling forever , and it may even be for the best. We’ll describe the new South Carolina law and the legal verbiage that spells out the wholesaling ban. Gary even gives a completely legal way of getting around the new wholesaling law , but the rules MUST be followed. If you’re a wholesaler anywhere in the United States, this law directly affects you and your livelihood. Not staying up-to-date on this could, at best, cost you money or, at worst, land you behind bars. In This Episode We Cover Wholesaling explained and why the practice is currently in jeopardy The newest South Carolina wholesaling law and its monumental effects on the industry Wholesaling “assignments” defined and the risk of marketing a property in the wrong way Whether or not this new law could lead to a nationwide ban on wholesaling Gary’s savvy way to get around this wholesaling ban through this one type of “contract” Whether or not this new law applies to commercial real estate wholesaling as well And So Much More!

Millennials can’t afford homes , but somehow, their younger siblings, Gen Z, can . Even with over a decade more work experience than Gen Z, Millennials still feel priced out of the housing market. So how can the younger generation, only twenty-seven years at the oldest, already be on track to beat Millennials in the homebuying race , all while mortgage rates and prices are high, inventory is low, and inflation is eating away at Americans’ disposable income? We’ve got Redfin’s Chen Zhao back on the show to explain. Today, we’re trying to answer one question: Who is buying all the houses? With younger generations struggling to buy and more Baby Boomers aging in place , real estate investors want to know their competition and who they may be selling their homes to. In this episode, Chen breaks down the data behind age trends in homebuying , plus shares why Millennials fell behind past generations. But that’s not all. We’re getting into the changing landscape of the “buy vs. rent” debate and whether more renters now will mean fewer homebuyers in the future. Plus, with an aging Baby Boomer generation, will we finally see the “ Silver Tsunami ” of housing inventory hit the market as boomers “age in place,” especially with their large share of family-sized houses? Could our housing supply problems reverse if a sizable amount of inventory hits the market? We’re answering it all coming up! In This Episode We Cover Why Millennials can’t afford houses , and the reason so many still don’t own homes How Gen Z is already on track to get ahead of Millennials even with today’s economic turbulence Buying vs. renting a home and the “mismatch” between what renters want and what landlords supply A potential reversal of our massive housing shortage and when this could happen Whether or not the “Silver Tsunami” will hit the housing market as boomers get older How the increase of “aging in place” will affect home inventory as Gen Z/Millennials try to buy And So Much More!

If you’re like most investors, you’ve probably asked yourself, “ Should I pay off my rental property early? ” With today’s high mortgage rates , troublesome inflation , low inventory, and risky economy, many investors don’t know whether it’s the right move to pay off their mortgage, reinvest in their properties, or go out and buy more.

Owning real estate could get expensive —yes, even more expensive than it already is today. Insurance prices , property taxes, maintenance costs, and more are going through the roof, and there isn’t much stopping these costs from jumping even more. What’s accelerating the rise in these upkeep costs? Hotter summers, colder winters, and more natural disasters. Growing climate risk is making real estate deals harder and harder to pencil, and even some safer areas to invest are seeing sizable pricing upticks. John Sheffield from ICE brings us the latest data on the financial impacts of climate risk in this episode. When we say “climate risk,” we know what you’re thinking: hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires. But that doesn’t even scratch the surface of what’s causing real estate expenses to jump . Areas of the US with once-cool summers are now experiencing record-breaking heat, increasing hail damage is denting roofs and breaking windows, and flooding has become the norm. These subtle climate effects have huge implications for your bottom line. So, what should you do to secure the profit you’re looking for on your next property? John hits on the expenses that are rising the most , the areas where home upkeep costs could almost mirror monthly mortgage payments , and what investors must do when underwriting their next deal to account for this massive jump in expenses. In This Episode We Cover The actual cost of climate risk and the expenses that are seeing the most significant pricing surges Why even areas without hurricanes, fires, or tornadoes are still at significant risk Property tax problems and underfunded local governments that could quickly raise taxes Insurance underpricing that could lead to even more expensive home protection Areas where home prices could drop as a result of inflated home expenses Where to find and track climate data so you know where (and where not) to invest And So Much More!

Squatters' rights have been a serious subject of debate over the past few years. It seems that more and more investors and even one-off landlords are dealing with squatters staying in their homes , whether they’ve had a lease in the past or not. This puts landlords in a strange predicament: try to get squatters out the legal way or offer unconventional incentives to entice the squatters to leave on their own accord. But how can a landlord prevent squatters from getting inside in the first place? Denise Medina and Patrick MacQueen , attorneys based in Detroit and Phoenix, are here to share exactly what a landlord must know about squatters’ rights and how to get a squatter out of your property legally. With new squatter laws taking effect in states like Florida , it seems that landlords and local governments have had enough. However, squatters’ rights remain strong in many other areas, such as James Dainard’s own Seattle, Washington. So what can landlords from either coast do to get squatters out ? We’ll break down where squatters’ rights even came from , how landlords can get the legal upper hand and get a squatter OUT of their property , the exact steps a landlord should take, the prevention methods to stop squatting in the first place, and how James deals with squatters frequently without ever having to go to court! In This Episode We Cover Squatters’ rights explained , and the ancient laws that they’re based on Why state governments are getting tired of squatters and tightening up their laws What qualifies someone as a “squatter,” and why it’s MUCH broader than you think Evictions 101 and the steps every landlord should take to get a squatter out “ Cash for keys ” and maneuvering around the courts to remove squatters Trespassing vs. squatting and why the police CANNOT simply come and take a squatter away And So Much More!

The housing market has seen unprecedented home price growth in the 2020s . Already, we’ve almost beat the past three decades, and we aren’t even halfway through our own. And now, with home price growth slowing , many people wonder how we’re still in a position of high housing costs and low inventory. The answer is simple: “Switching costs” are holding the housing market in limbo , and the more you know about them, the more our current situation makes sense. Put simply, “switching costs” are not only the financial but also the psychological costs of selling your current home and buying a new one. With mortgage rates close to double what most Americans have locked in, there’s a substantial financial consideration when purchasing a new home. Lance Lambert , co-founder of ResiClub and housing data authority, is on the show today to talk about home prices , housing inventory , and how “switching costs” influence both. Lance details how our massive home price acceleration put many Americans in an affordability bind, making “switching costs” higher than in recent history. So, how do we cross the threshold to enter a time when “switching costs” are low, prices are stable, and housing inventory returns? Lance walks through exactly how to tell the direction your local housing market is going in and the data investors must look at to get a better sense of how home prices and housing inventory are trending . In This Episode We Cover “Switching costs” explained and why they’re keeping the US housing market in limbo The “ lock-in effect ” that’s suppressing our housing inventory and keeping owners from selling Inflation’s sizable role in the massive home price appreciation we’ve been seeing The slow recovery in active listings and how far behind pre-pandemic levels we are The one data point you must follow if you want to gauge how healthy your local housing market is And So Much More!

Multifamily syndications are getting squeezed. With short-term financing coming due and mortgage rates at multi-decade highs, syndicators are calling on their original investors to raise more money so they don’t lose the deal. The problem? If you’re an investor, how do you know if your additional investment will ever be returned? Could a syndication simply burn through your money without making any promising changes to the investment? What should you know BEFORE you put up the cash for a capital call? We brought two syndication experts, Brian Burke and Mauricio Rauld , on to share their tips for navigating capital calls. Before we start, let’s clarify this isn’t exclusively a syndication or multifamily problem . Much of the commercial real estate market is facing financing problems as loans come due and mortgage rates stay high . However, this problem has become a lot more common for syndication investors since rates started rising. In this episode, we’ll break down what a capital call is , why syndications do them, whether or not you’re obligated to invest more, and what investors MUST look for before putting up cash . If a capital call comes your way, we have the exact questions you should ask the syndicator to ensure your money is being used correctly. Plus, if you’re a syndicator or plan on being one in the future, we share the steps to pull off a capital call the right way and make your investors whole. Making the wrong move could cost not only your investor’s money but also your money and lead to serious legal consequences. Don’t get stuck in that spot; stick around! In This Episode We Cover: Capital calls explained , why they happen, and why they’re becoming common in multifamily Syndications 101 and the reason they’ve become popular among passive investors Commercial lending problems and the bridge loans that are squeezing multifamily investors What investors MUST look for when a capital call comes their way and the questions to ask The right way to execute a capital call and the steps every syndicator should follow And So Much More!

When housing inventory is low, where do you go? Foreclosure rates are down, short sales are a hassle, and the open housing market has barely any sellers—is there a better way to find deals? Yes! Enter real estate receivership—the hidden housing inventory that our own James Dainard has been using for years to get better deals than what’s on the market. How do they work, and what’s behind these discounted deals ? Attorney Jake Flothe works with receiverships daily and has seen the inside and out of these transactions that most real estate investors know nothing about. In short, receivership is when a court-appointed receiver takes control of a property in order to sell it to pay back creditors on the borrower’s behalf. This alternative to foreclosure and bankruptcy helps many real estate investors and everyday Americans escape a financial bind and can bring better properties to your investment portfolio . Jake gets into the nitty gritty of why someone would go into receivership, how to finance these discounted deals , the vast benefits of receivership over foreclosure or short sales , what the bidding and buying process looks like, and the one clause that could kick you out of an amazing receivership deal. In This Episode We Cover: The hidden inventory of “receiverships” that most investors have no idea about Why receivership real estate may be an even better deal than foreclosures The bidding process and how to start putting in offers on these discounted deals A BIG reason why foreclosures are down and receiverships are “ramping up” One clause that could completely ruin your receivership deals Why YOU may need to consider receivership if your deal goes sideways And So Much More!

America is in need of affordable housing ; we’re all aware. Buying your first home has become increasingly challenging for everyday people. This is where housing subsidies come in. Federal housing subsidies were created over ninety years ago to help Americans get into the housing market and strengthen the economy, but in 2024, much of that money may not be headed to homebuyers —it could be going to banks instead. On today’s show, we talk to Sharon Cornelissen , Ph.D., Director of Housing at the Consumer Federation of America . Sharon’s mission is to advocate for safe, affordable housing with equitable mortgage lending for American consumers . In this episode, Sharon illuminates the shocking fact that most Americans are completely unaware of— billions in housing subsidies AREN’T being used for housing . So, if they’re not going to homebuyers, where are all the subsidies headed? Sharon discusses the banks that could be receiving a significant amount of these subsidies without providing any benefits for homebuyers, how the Coalition for Federal Home Loan Bank Reform is trying to change this, and how, if they succeed, affordable housing could see a MASSIVE influx in subsidies, that could help the housing market tremendously. In This Episode We Cover: Where the $7.3 billion in housing subsidies is actually going The Federal Home Loan Bank system and why it’s in dire need of reform How the mortgage market changed over the past century and why we’re seeing these problems How over $1 billion could be directed straight towards affordable housing How Sharon picked up a $7,000 house in one of the most devastated real estate markets And So Much More!

Over the past few years, you’ve probably heard the term “ walkability ” thrown out. For those who have lived in big cities, this is a common factor to use when deciding where to live or work . If you can catch a quick bus or walk to the office , the grocery store, restaurants, or a movie theater, there’s a fair chance you’ll pay more for where you live . But, most real estate investors aren’t thinking about this, and their ignorance could cost them. Jeff Speck , city planner and writer, is on the show to discuss how walkability , smart urban planning , and intentional property design can help you make much more money while improving the lives of your tenants and neighbors. Jeff has seen time and time again how smart urban planning leads to higher home appreciation and rents and a safer, happier community. The problem? Most of us are stuck in car-reliant American suburbs with little walkability and lacking public transportation. After hearing this episode, you’ll easily be able to spot the properties that will grow faster in value due to smart city planning. So, before you go out and buy your next property, make sure it aligns with Jeff’s four components of walkability because if it does, you could have a valuable property on your hands that most other investors won’t even notice! In This Episode We Cover: Walkability explained and why this is such a crucial factor in home and rent prices The four components of walkability and how to ensure your property fits The huge portion of Americans who want walkable properties and communities Mixed-use development and why Americans want more than big yards and big houses Urban design trends to pay attention to that could change the real estate landscape How to get your city leaders to take the steps to building more walkable communities And So Much More!

America is in an affordable housing crisis. With home prices rising dramatically over the past four years and rents following right along, tens of millions of Americans are spending a significant chunk of their income just to put a roof over their heads. This means less money in Americans’ pockets for education, nutritious foods, investments, or an emergency fund . But, new government policies could help lessen the budgeting blow Americans are feeling from unaffordable housing costs, and investors may be able to help while turning a profit.

Mortgage rates were supposed to be going down by now, but what happened? Even in late 2023, many housing market experts predicted that we’d be seeing high to mid six percent mortgage rates at this point and hovering around the high five percent rate mark by the end of the year, but the Fed isn’t showing any sign of lowering rates soon. Some experts even believe rates could go UP again this year as the job market stays hot and the economy sees unprecedented strength. This begs the question: What IF mortgage rates remain high? It’s a reality many of us don’t want to see, but 2024 could end with minor, if any, rate cuts, keeping monthly mortgage payments high and affordability low. So, what should an investor do in this situation? Sit on the sidelines? Invest in a different asset class? Pray to Jerome Powell? While that last option may be worthwhile, top real estate investors are saying that NOW is the time to buy BEFORE rates fall. What do we mean? We’ve got the entire expert investor panel here to give their take on what investors should do IF rates don’t fall. From house flipping to l ong-term buy and hold rentals , our nationwide panel of investors shares exactly what they’re doing to make money even with high interest rates . Plus, we’ll give our predictions on when rates could fall , what will happen to housing inventory, what young people should do NOW to get their first house, and why investors need to “reset” if they want to thrive in this high rate housing market. In This Episode We Cover: Mortgage rate predictions and when interest rates could finally start falling What should investors do IF mortgage rates stay high throughout 2024 The “lock-in effect” and whether or not high rates are leading to lower inventory The homes that are flying off the market in many areas (and the ones that are sitting) How young people can creatively get into their first home or investment property Why investors MUST “reset” their expectations if they’re to build wealth in this housing market And So Much More!

For the past few years, “ subject to ” real estate has been all the rage. Everyone is talking about how they scored a great real estate deal by taking over a seller’s rock-bottom interest rate mortgage payment. You see it all over social media, “I got this house for zero dollars down with a three percent mortgage rate!” And while this may seem too good to be true, the practice of subject to real estate isn’t illegal , but some of its huge risks could ruin an inexperienced real estate investor. So, who do we have on to talk about subject to? Eddie Speed ! Eddie is a creative financing master who’s been in the real estate note investing business for over forty years . Eddie has been around the block more than most and has seen the good and bad sides of subject to real estate. It’s become alarming to Eddie how many inexperienced investors are using this strategy without knowing the risks , putting their wealth and, more importantly, sellers in danger by being far too cavalier about the massive downsides of getting this real estate strategy wrong. Eddie walks through exactly how subject to works , the one clause that could blow up your entire deal , what will trigger it, the difference between subject to and assumable loans, who should be using subject to , and who DEFINITELY shouldn’t. Even if you’ve done a subject to deal before, you’d better stick around for this one, because you may have gotten it wrong. In This Episode We Cover: Subject to explained and whether this “ no money down ” strategy is worth the risk Subject to real estate vs. assumable mortgages and why these are NOT the same strategy The “due on sale” clause that could ruin your entire deal (and what triggers it ) A workaround to the “due on sale” clause that most investors get WRONG Who should be investing in subject to real estate (and why it’s probably NOT you) Often overlooked state laws that could put you in hot water if you’ve done a subject to deal And So Much More!

Squatters’ rights are quickly being stripped away as more states move to end this widespread illegal occupation of private property. Blackstone predicts real estate prices to “bottom” as they gear up to go on their next homebuying shopping spree. Rent increases get capped for affordable housing , and why doesn’t the American public know about the BILLIONS of dollars in government housing subsidies ? It’s another wild week in the housing market, so let’s get you up to speed. In this Headlines Rumble show , we’re pitting the top housing market headlines against each other as we dive deep into the stories that affect real estate investors the most. First, we talk about DeSantis’ war against the squatters , as Florida becomes one of the first states to take action against squatters illegally occupying private property. Next, we discuss the $7.3 billion in housing subsidies that banks receive but AREN’T flowing into homebuyers’ pockets. So, where is all that money going? Blackstone predicts real estate will “bottom” soon as they prepare to buy over $1 billion in single-family homes this year. If one of the most data-backed hedge funds in existence is saying now is the time to buy, should you begin searching for your next property? Finally, we’ll discuss the recent rent caps for affordable housing that are stopping landlords from increasing their rents even during times of quickly rising costs. In This Episode We Cover Squatters’ rights explained and why states are finally saying no to squatting The massive homebuying subsidies that no one knows about (but should!) Blackstone’s bet on a “bottoming” housing market and whether or not this means you should buy NOW Affordable housing rent increase caps and why this may lead to even less affordable housing The winning real estate market in our “ Market Madness ” bracket!

The NAR lawsuit changed the real estate industry overnight. Just like that, buyer’s agents were no longer getting their standard three percent commission , and many investors began imagining what buying and selling homes would be like without realtors. But is this massive NAR settlement as dramatic as the headlines are making it out to be? Is there really an agent exodus on the horizon, or is this just a way for the bad agents to exit the industry quickly? We brought on a panel of top investor-friendly agents to find out. Joining us are four agents from across the nation: Avery Carl , Craig Curelop , Juliet Lalouel , and Mike Savegnago . All of these agents are affected by the recent NAR lawsuit settlement, but they don’t seem so shaken up. For many of these agents, this lawsuit simply thinned the competition , putting the expert agents back on top while showing the less-than agents the door. Plus, after the recent deals they’ve done, they’re not too concerned about a lack of buyer’s agent fees. Today, we’re asking each of them their thoughts on the changes to the NAR’s rules , how this will affect buying and selling homes, what this means for real estate agent commissions , and what agents should do NOW to get ahead of the game . Plus, since our agent panel is all investors as well, they give some crucial advice on finding an agent in your area that will help you build your real estate portfolio even bigger. In This Episode We Cover: The NAR lawsuit explained and what it means for real estate agent commissions A “huge exit of agents” and how this could change the real estate industry forever What to do when a seller offers you or your buyer’s agent a zero-percent commission What real estate agents need to start doing NOW to ensure they still get paid The key signs of an investor-friendly agent that any landlord should be looking for Massive downsides of buying or selling without an agent (it will cost you…) And So Much More!

Compass is the latest brokerage to settle after the recent NAR lawsuit made sweeping changes to agent commission payments. With NAR, Keller Williams, Compass, and more associations and brokerages paying out massive settlement fees and rewriting their agent agreements, could we be on the cusp of even more lawsuits to come? We’re breaking it all down in this week’s On the Market headlines episodes! First, we’ll discuss what happened in the Fed meeting last week and whether interest rate cuts could still be coming down the line in 2024. Unsurprisingly, the Fed has forecasted even stronger economic growth than expected, but will this hold rates where they are? Next, Compass pays $57.5 million to settle their antitrust lawsuit , but even with this week’s news and last week’s NAR settlement, many top agents aren’t seeing much of a change in demand. Redfin reports on a sizable bump in housing inventory , with the “biggest increase in nearly a year,” as more homes for sale begin hitting the market. This is great news for the housing market, but will it start to slow down sales? Finally, we discuss how much you have to make to afford a $500K home and how affordability struggles could keep many Americans renting for much longer than they anticipated. In This Episode We Cover: Compass’ recent agent commission lawsuit settlement and what this means for investors The Fed’s rate cut predictions for 2024 and when we can expect rates to finally fall Strong economic projections from the Fed that point to a successful soft landing What the annual spring housing inventory increase could do to the market (will it even make a dent?)

A bombshell NAR settlement could bring wide-sweeping changes to the housing market . After a snowball of NAR lawsuits, the realtor association agreed to settle for a whopping $418 million and make critical changes to how real estate agent commissions are paid and how competition can be upheld. This significantly impacts anyone buying or selling a home and has life-changing effects for every real estate agent and realtor in the country. The New York Times’ Debra Kamin joins us to break the story. Debra breaks down the enormous legal loss that NAR (National Association of Realtors) suffered last week and the impacts it will have on the housing market. First, we discuss the new agent commission rules , which may break the standard six percent fee that realtors are used to taking. These commissions are real estate agents’ livelihoods, and a new model that supports lower commissions could force many agents to leave the industry entirely. We’ll also touch on the turbulent times NAR has faced recently, from sexual harassment scandals to changing leadership and, now, a massive settlement that could lose them more than half of their members . Will a new type of real estate agent form from the ashes of this century-old model? Or, could a brand-new way of buying and selling homes transform the housing market? Stay with us; we’ll give you the entire scoop. In This Episode We Cover: NAR’s massive settlement creating ripple effects across the real estate market The new real estate agent commission rules that could shock an entire industry Changes to the multiple listing service (MLS) that may open the market up to new competition The future of buyer’s agents and whether or not they’ll remain a critical component to buying a home Sexual harassment scandals , turbulent leadership, and recent NAR struggles What the future of using a real estate agent could look like And So Much More!

The Fed isn’t happy , but what’s new? After inflation numbers were released last week, showing higher-than-expected consumer price growth , our rate cut dreams could be slowly dwindling. Are we still on a timeline to see lower mortgage rates by summer, or is the US economy just too strong to prompt any help for prospective homebuyers? This story, and plenty more, are coming up in this week’s headlines show. Ever get that feeling that someone is watching you? Airbnb recently announced a new policy that banned indoor surveillance cameras in hosts’ properties. This is a shock for almost every Airbnb guest and most hosts, too, as it seems we all incorrectly assumed that security cameras were only allowed on the OUTSIDE of a property. But this episode isn’t just about short-term rentals. We have some good news for housing inventory , as new listings finally saw a bump, helping add some homes to the already supply-strained market we’re facing. We’ll also talk about new unemployment numbers that are trending in a direction the Fed wants to see but may not be enough to convince them of a rate cut. All that, and more, in this episode. In This Episode We Cover: A housing supply update and the “surge” of new listings that hit the market New jobs numbers and whether rising unemployment is something we should worry about Why the Fed may become even more hesitant to cut rates in 2024 New inflation and CPI (Consumer Price Index) numbers (and what they mean) Airbnb’s newest “no indoor camera” policy and what this means for anyone hosting a short-term rental The naked man in James’ newest investment property (will he EVER get out?)

Welcome to the “redemption year” for real estate investing . We talk a lot on this show about the real estate deals being done all across the country. From interviewing flippers to developers to agents and investors, it always seems like there’s still money to be made, no matter the market. But is that really true? Or is it a bunch of pro-property investing propaganda that “big real estate” is pushing? To prove that there are indeed real deals to be done in 2024 , we’re bringing on some of OUR latest investments and walking through the ACTUAL numbers on this show! Each of our expert hosts (including Dave!) has a real estate deal to review on today’s episode. First, we’ll touch on James’ new joint venture partnership that’s making him a hefty six-figure profit that could almost be considered passive income. This deal alone could make James over $300,000—a sum that could change anyone’s life! Then, Dave jumps back into the market as he makes his first active real estate investment in YEARS . This home has a lot of potential, so what should he do with the property? Next, the “Kat(hy)-Signal” goes up as a growing city in Oregon pleads our own Kathy Fettke to start developing homes so local workers have a place to live. Thankfully, she picks up an astounding deal from a local farmer who doesn’t know much about developing. Finally, we’re back to good ol’ Arkansas as Henry walks through the numbers of a quick house flip that could profit him $80K . But that’s not the only sweet part of this deal. Another big benefit comes from the lot right next door. What will Henry do with it? Stick around to find out! In This Episode We Cover: Why NOW is the time to buy as competition is low and “walk-in equity” is high James’ almost passive real estate investment that could make him $300K Develop, add an ADU , or do nothing—what’s the best move for Dave’s new property?

Disclaimer: Opinions expressed in this episode and written below are solely opinions of the hosts, guests, and writers and do not reflect the views of BiggerPockets. The recent NAR lawsuits are paving a new path for real estate agents —one that could change how we buy and sell real estate forever. For the past century, the NAR (National Association of Realtors ) has been the controlling association for the American housing market. With most real estate agents in the country being members, the NAR has gone without an alternative for almost the entirety of its existence —but that’s about to change. Jason Haber and Mauricio Umansky , founders of the new “ American Real Estate Association ,” have come to give agents something different. To combat outdated fee structures, sexual harassment scandals, and a large bureaucracy, Jason and Mauricio wish to create an association that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and excellence for the best real estate agents so the industry can improve. But what type of changes are they thinking of? Say goodbye to the “basic brokers,” as Jason and Mauricio lay plans to strengthen the skills of serious real estate agents, create more investor-friendly education opportunities, bolster the ethics of those buying and selling real estate , and bring more diversity and inclusion to the decision-making that often happens behind closed doors. This could be a new era for real estate agents —one where their destiny is in their own hands. In This Episode We Cover: Recent NAR lawsuits that could put the trade association in jeopardy Breaking up the broker “monopoly” by finally giving real estate agents a choice Agent innovation and why we DON’T need more agents …we need BETTER agents Agent commissions , costs, and fees that could be changed with the American Real Estate Association Why women MUST play a more prominent role in the future of the real estate industry And So Much More!

China’s economy is on its last legs. Thanks to massive overspending and high unemployment , the Chinese economy is beginning to break down , with real estate prices crashing at a scale similar to 2008 in the US. This is bad news for not only Chinese investors but also global investors with money in China. But could these tumultuous conditions spill over into the global economy ? We’ve got arguably the world’s best economic forecaster , Joe Brusuelas , back on the show to get his take on the global economy and what could be next for the US. Joe has studied the Chinese economy in-depth and sees a “ debt and deleveraging period ” forming. This is bad for Chinese investors, but will it affect the US housing market? Next, Joe speaks on the other global crises, from Israel to Ukraine to Iran and beyond. With our global reliance on importing commodities like wheat and oil, how risky are we getting with the massive Middle East and Eastern European conflicts? Finally, Joe touches on domestic trends, including one substantial economic insight that could point to a new era of economic productivity in the US . This could be game-changing for you if you own stocks, bonds , real estate, or any other US-based investments. What trend are we talking about?

Rent prices peaked in 2022 after a double-digit percentage run-up. Due to more household formation, disposable income, and remote work availability, Americans were doing whatever they could to upgrade their housing to bigger, better, and often more expensive options. But, after interest rates shot up , the economy began to cool , and work-from-home became a not-so-sure thing, Americans became more budget-conscious . As a result, vacancies rose, and rent prices began to fall. So, how close are we to seeing rent growth return? Apartment List’s senior housing economist, Chris Salviati , joins us to share what his team has seen in the nationwide rent data. Chris looks mostly at large apartment data—the sector that’s been hit the hardest in recent years. With multifamily properties struggling to find renters and lowering their asking prices to prompt demand, you’d think the market had found a bottom—but this isn’t the case. A tidal wave of multifamily inventory is about to come online , and when it does, multifamily investors will be forced to compete with the newest and most luxurious options on the market. Will this oversupply trickle down to single-family rentals , or will renters turn away from the A-class buildings in search of more affordable options? Chris gives us his thoughts, plus future rent growth predictions , in this episode! In This Episode We Cover: What happens to rent prices when 1,000,000 more multifamily units come online Markets that have the most oversupply and could see significant rent cuts The massive concessions multifamily apartments are giving new renters When real estate investors can expect rent growth to pick back up 2024 rent price predictions and whether demand could come back How single-family rental prices will be affected by multifamily’s huge oversupply And So Much More!

Most real estate markets in America saw huge home price growth over the past five years. Ever since the pandemic, equity and appreciation have been slingshotted to new heights , with some housing markets having over FIFTY PERCENT home price appreciation in just a few years. Today, we’re touching on the four top appreciation markets in America , all of which saw massive price jumps over the past five years, and some are even still affordable ! But, if you’re like most real estate investors, you’re screaming at your screen, “ What about the cash flow ? You can’t bet on appreciation!” Well, we’ve already read your mind as we get into a debate over whether or not appreciation SHOULD be accounted for before buying a property and whether or not it’s better than cash flow. Surprisingly, some of our appreciation-rich experts prefer cash flow, while our cash flow market investors prefer appreciation. Stick around as we dive into the top appreciation markets in America , which ones we’d invest in, which ones may be on a downward trend , and why many Americans love the mountains so much they secretly want to be ranchers instead of nine-to-five workers. In This Episode We Cover The top four appreciation and equity growth housing markets in America How work-from-home changed the housing landscape forever Whether or not to underwrite for appreciation when analyzing your real estate deals The signs that your real estate market is about to experience explosive appreciation A cash flow vs. appreciation debate and the surprising choice most investors would make What you MUST do before you make an appreciation bet on a rental property or housing market And So Much More!

Is college worth it? Many Americans are beginning to boldly state, “Nope!” But does the growing anti-higher education sentiment point to facts or fiction around the cost of college ? We invited Dr. Anthony P. Carnevale , research professor and director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, to the show to give us up-to-date data on the true ROI of a college degree . With America’s shockingly low college graduation rate and student loans being one of the biggest limiting factors of financial freedom for many Americans, it’s understandable why so many people are skipping college to go straight into the workforce . But the data paints an entirely different picture. Those who opt out of the traditional four-year degree system could be making a massive mistake , one that could cost them seven figures in the long run . A sum that size could be the game changer for finding financial independence . In this show, we ask Dr. Carnevale about why college has gotten so expensive , the problem with freezing tuition, which majors make the most (and the least), and whether where you go to college even matters. Plus, he shares some shocking statistics about how much a degree is worth and why one group of Americans is ditching degrees in today’s strong economy. In This Episode We Cover: Keller Williams' settlement of $70M in the NAR agent commission lawsuit and what this means for the future of agent commissions The rise of “niche” brokers and agents and why they may THRIVE in the coming years Our crucial advice for first-time homebuyers that you CANNOT miss Commercial real estate losses and how hard IS it to get an investor loan today?

Just when you thought the NAR lawsuit coverage was over, Keller Williams agrees to settle for $70M , bringing a big blow to real estate agent commissions. How will this impact buyers and sellers, and are we entering a new age of home buying where only a fraction of the real estate agents exist? We’re getting into this headline and others affecting the housing market in BIG ways in this episode of On the Market . Some agents will thrive while others barely survive in a post-NAR lawsuit world as real estate agent commissions are threatened once again . But it isn’t only agents getting hit hard this week. Banks have been “rocked” by real estate losses , primarily commercial real estate, as loans come due, but investors aren’t able to pay. One bank saw its share price slide by more than fifty percent this month as earnings reports showed a major loss from lending this quarter. Finally, it wouldn’t be a headlines show if we didn’t touch on the jobs report . This month, we’re getting a mixed bag of good for the economy but bad for rates type of numbers. Jobs are growing, and the economy is still chugging along, but will this push rate cuts back as the Fed fails to find weakness in our economy? We’re giving you our thoughts on this episode!

The Fed is putting us all in danger. With high rates , low inflation, a strong job market , and millions of Americans wishing they could buy a home (but can't), we're in a strange position. Buying a home is still unaffordable even with rising wages, but the Fed won't drop rates BECAUSE of rising wages and such strong job numbers. We're in a housing market stalemate , and all of this could have been avoided if the Fed stopped counting on old data to save them. You might think that these are wild claims, but thankfully, we've got the housing market expert of housing market experts on the show, Logan Mohtashami , to make his case. Logan's team at HousingWire tracks housing market data like no one else can. They have the most up-to-date metrics and the best forecasts in the industry and were right about this housing market, and the last one, the one before that, and…you get the point. It goes without saying Logan is the singular voice to trust when it comes to housing and the economy. Logan says the Fed is "playing with fire" by keeping mortgage rates as high as they are. They want to break the labor market , but with every number pointing to a return to normal, why should they? Logan gives his thoughts on why the Fed isn't dropping rates , the huge housing market mistake they're making, the metrics that could point to a disastrous labor market, and the harsh reality for first-time homebuyers . In This Episode We Cover: A normalizing job market and what could cause it to finally break The Fed's massive mistake that is putting the housing market in danger Why the Fed won't lower mortgage rates yet and what they're waiting for The devastating state of housing demand and why it shouldn't be like this in 2024 How lower-income households are getting hit the hardest , EVEN in an expanding economy Bond market effects and why yields are staying so high And So Much More!

What do you need to know BEFORE you take it? And should you hold off on filing before this new bill passes? We’ve got answers to all that and much more in this episode, so stick around!

We know mortgage rates will fall this year, but how long will we have to wait? Will they get down to the fives or stay in the six-percent range? And even if the Fed lowers the federal funds rate, will this significantly impact mortgage rates? We brought on three elite lenders to get their takes on when rates will drop , how low they could go, and why waiting for lower rates is a riskier decision than you think. Caeli Ridge joins us again as our go-to investor-lender combo, and Krystle and Kenny Simpson , San Diego-based lenders, are on the show to give their viewpoints from the small investor and large commercial lens. Plus, these lenders are about to share the info on some investor loans that you may have NEVER known about —loans that other investors are taking advantage of TODAY to get deals done, even with high interest rates . Speaking of high interest rates, our lenders show mathematical proof that rates are NOT the defining factor of your real estate deal and how waiting for a half-percentage drop could cost you more than you think. Plus, the commercial real estate “bloodbath” coming for one certain sector unless local governments step in. In This Episode We Cover: The investor loans that you’ve NEVER heard of that are being used TODAY to get deals done Mortgage rate predictions and how low rates could go by the end of 2024 The commercial real estate drop-off and why buying/selling has come to a halt High-rate investor HELOCs you can get today that’ll cost you LESS than a thirty-year mortgage Huge opportunity in commercial real estate as one sector becomes a “bloodbath” DSCR , non-QM, and other investor-only loans you can take advantage of NOW And So Much More!

Home prices will rise , home sales will jump , and mortgage rates will fall to a familiar range, according to Fannie Mae’s Doug Duncan . In their newest consumer sentiment survey , Fannie Mae points to a “tale of two housing markets” where both buyers and sellers are stuck . Rates aren’t low enough to get back into the housing market, and with prices set to rise, why should homeowners sell? Doug provides some incredible insight on today’s episode, explaining why housing market sentiment is still so low, what could boost homebuying demand, and where Fannie Mae expects mortgage rates to be in 2024 and 2025 . If you’re praying for rates to hit the rock-bottom levels of 2020 and 2021, Doug has some news you NEED to hear. But rates and prices aren’t the only factors impacting buying/selling. Our huge undersupply of housing is making the market even more competitive as builders remain stuck, forced to pay high interest rates and high labor costs, all during a time when most of America doesn’t want to purchase. How do we get out of this housing market stalemate? Stick around as one of the top minds in housing gives us his answers. In This Episode We Cover: Fannie Mae’s newest housing market sentiment numbers and what they mean for buying/selling 2024 vs. 2008 and the factors causing so much property purchasing pessimism The mortgage rate “range” we can expect in 2024 and 2025 The three factors that MUST change if we’re to see a return back to a normal housing market Recession indicators that are going off , EVEN with today’s solid economic growth The massive construction constraint that’s stopping more inventory from coming on the market And So Much More!

The “frozen” housing market is about to get blowtorched as competition is set to heat up in 2024. With lower mortgage rates , bigger investor tax benefits , positive economic sentiment, and tight inventory , homebuyers will need to act fast unless they want to make the same mistakes of 2021 and 2022. Are the bidding wars and price hikes coming back ? Will we look back at 2023 as an “affordable” time to buy a house? Welcome to the first On the Market Headlines Rumble Show! We’re putting Dave, Henry, James, and Kathy in a metaphorical cage match as they each bring hard-hitting headlines to knock each other out with bigger and better news.

The “silent depression” is here. Just like in 1929, the American economy is ravaged by a declining GDP, plummeting asset prices, widespread unemployment , and a completely fractured banking system. Wait…are any of those things happening today? Not quite. But, according to social media, a “silent depression” is widespread across the American economy, with high inflation , limited wage growth, and low homeownership for millennials and Gen Z. To explain the “silent depression” trend , CNBC’s Jessica Dickler is on the show, giving her take on this trend and other popular economic trends across social media . We’ll get into why younger generations feel so bad about the economy, EVEN with strong financial fundamentals, the rising cost of living across the country, and whether or not economists agree with the “silent depression” theory. And if you want to see Dave get really fired up, prepare to hear his best “you darn kids!” impression as he explains why so many young Americans are tired of older generations holding so much of the wealth. In This Episode We Cover The “silent depression” explained and why so many Americans are financially fearful How BAD is the American economy in 2024? (is it even bad at all?) Economic depressions vs. inflation and why the rising cost of living hits so hard Explaining other popular TikTok trends like “loud budgeting” and “girl math” Social media vs. reality and why you can’t (always) trust the internet Dave aging instantly by thirty years during an on-air rant And So Much More!

Right now, many multifamily operators are scared . They’ve got debt due , higher vacancy rates than ever, and banks that could be coming for them at any second .

Home equity just hit an all-time high for Americans. And while this is great for homeowners, what effects could this have on the housing market? Will house hoarding become a new trend as homeowners “lock in” with their rock-bottom mortgage rates ? Will those who are equity-rich take their profits and move to cheaper markets , causing prices to skyrocket as they bid higher than local buyers can? Molly Boesel , Principal Economist at CoreLogic, is on to answer these questions and more! CoreLogic’s latest Homeowner Equity Insights report has a clear takeaway: Americans are equity rich —really equity rich. On average, American homeowners have hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting in home equity , with some of the priciest housing markets having millions! This is causing a new type of investor, the “accidental investor,” that could keep housing supply locked up. Molly gives her take on why so many homeowners are refusing to sell , whether or not mortgage rates will fall substantially next year, when refinancing will finally start to rise again, and if foreclosure risk is even a relevant worry in today’s rock-solid economy. In This Episode We Cover: Latest homeowner equity numbers that put owners and sellers in an even better position The most and least home-equity-rich housing markets in America Foreclosure risk and how “negative equity” completely flipped since the Great Recession The rise of “accidental investors” who are keeping more housing supply to themselves Molly’s strong mortgage rate prediction and where she thinks rates will be by the end of this year Whether or not equity could explode once again as buyers get back into the market And So Much More!

The housing market has two big problems : home prices and a lack of supply . With so few homes on the market, buyers have barely anything to choose from, and sellers remain in control. But how did we get to this point? Back in 2008, there were too many homes on the market, and we all know what happened to home prices. So how did we go from being oversupplied to undersupplied by MILLIONS of housing units so quickly? The answer is pretty simple. Mark Zandi , Chief Economist at Moody’s Analytics, joins us again to give his take on the 2024 economy , the housing market , home prices , and our massive underbuilding problem . The last time Mark was on the show , he explained the “ slowcession ” that could have taken place in 2023. Instead, a roaring economy took off with low unemployment, high consumer spending, and real wealth increases for many Americans. But, as we head into 2024, there are still a couple of BIG problems : little-to-no housing supply and a polarizing presidential election of epic proportions . Both of these will have big impacts on the economy, and if you want to know what could be coming next, don’t miss this episode! In This Episode We Cover: The “rip-roaring” labor market and why unemployment has stayed so low Why middle and high-income households are thriving while low-income households are struggling even more The Fed’s recent rate pause and whether it was the right move for them to make The 2024 election and the huge effects it could have on the economy Our lopsided housing supply and why we’ve been building the wrong real estate for too long Marks’ 2024 home price predictions and why weak/flat pricing could be in our future And So Much More!

A “reset” could be coming to the housing market in 2024 . As mortgage rates fall, inventory rises, and consumer wealth begins to grow, more and more renters are in the position to buy. An economic “trifecta” could form that brings us back into a hot housing market , but will it be anything like 2021 and 2022? We’ve got Orphe Divounguy , Senior Economist at Zillow , back on the show to give Zillow’s 2024 housing market predictions and share where he’s personally looking to invest. 2023 was an impossible year for homebuying. Rates were high, inventory was non-existent, and fears of a recession made Americans have second thoughts about buying real estate. But now, it looks like the Fed will land their so-called “soft landing” as the economy continues to slow but grow at a rate we’ve been waiting for. This is good news for housing. If you want to hear what Zillow thinks could come next in 2024, what will happen to housing inventory, where Americans will move, and how a presidential election could impact the property market, this is the episode to watch. Be sure to subscribe to On the Market, as Orphe will be back to discuss even more housing market predictions with Redfin’s Chen Zhao. In This Episode We Cover: Why the housing market could have a “big reset” in store for 2024 The economic “trifecta” that could put Americans in the perfect position to buy homes Improving housing inventory and the BIG jumps made towards the end of 2023 2024 headwinds to watch out for and how a presidential election could freeze investing Affordable markets that Americans are planning to move to in 2024 Where Orphe is looking to buy his next investment property (watch this market!)

For the average investor, it seems like the corporate landlords are getting an unfair advantage—they have better data, better financing, full-time staff, and deep pockets to buy whatever and wherever they want. But a new single-family rental survey shows that the big players aren’t the ones controlling the market —it’s the little guys. To walk us through this massive, single-family rental survey, is Rick Palacios Jr. , Director of Research at John Burns Research and Consulting. Rick’s team accomplished the seemingly impossible task of measuring activity for 270,000 single-family rental homes to see how landlords are faring in 2023 and what their plans are for 2024. And while this survey focuses on REITs (real estate investment trusts) , private groups, and other larger-type buyers, it provides invaluable insights for the small-time landlord . Rick will walk us through rent growth (and decline) from the past year, where he believes rents will be in 2024, whether or not expenses could continue to rise , how high mortgage rates are affecting buyers, and why institutional investors are struggling in this market while mom-and-pops are buying! In This Episode We Cover: What the largest single-family rental survey says about the 2024 housing market Rent “normalization” and why those who aggressively projected rising rents will get hit hard Rising expenses , insurance costs , and whether or not it could get even worse Why institutional investors pulled out of the market while small-time investors thrived How long the “ lock-in effect ” could last as high mortgage rates become the new norm Whether or not the multifamily rent crisis could spill over into the single-family market And So Much More!

Our 2024 housing market predictions are here. Will interest rates finally fall? Will home prices continue to stay strong even with weak demand? And will we EVER “technically” enter into a recession ? We’ve got the full On the Market panel here to give their forecasts on everything that could happen in 2024, plus where the biggest buying opportunities could be. But first, we’ll painfully review our incorrect housing market predictions from 2023 and one BIG guess that we all got wrong. But we’re not the only ones! Both Zillow and Redfin had some predictions that didn’t age too well. From there, we’ll get into 2024 housing price predictions and whether or not we expect to see home prices FINALLY decline after a standstill year. Then, what everyone’s been waiting for— mortgage and interest rates predictions . If these start to fall, you can assume that home prices will rise, a buying frenzy will ensue, and the bidding wars will begin (again). With the potential for a recession at some point in 2024, lower mortgage rates may result from an even worse economic event. So, what IS going to happen? Stick around for our predictions! In This Episode We Cover: Our 2024 housing market, interest rate, and home price predictions What could cause mortgage rates to fall in the latter half of 2024 Recession probability and why Americans are spending more than ever before What we got WRONG in our 2023 predictions (nobody’s perfect) Best real estate investing markets in 2024 and why “unsexy” cities could win The HUGE opportunity for cash buyers as banks seek to offload properties And So Much More!

Happy Thanksgiving! This Turkey Day, we're giving you an encore of our 2023 housing market predictions episode. Hear what we got right and what we (definitely) got wrong, and tune in next week for our 2024 predictions! ______ The 2023 housing market predictions are here. We heard you in the forums, the comments, and all over social media. We know you want Dave, the data man, to give you his take on what will happen over the next year. Will housing prices fall even more? Could interest rates hit double digits? And will our expert guests ever stop buying real estate? All of this, and more, will be answered in this week’s episode of On The Market . Unfortunately, Dave threw his crystal ball in with his laundry this week, so he’s relying solely on data to give any housing market forecasts . He and our expert guests will be diving deep into topics like interest rates, inflation, cap rates , and even nuclear war. We’ll touch on anything and everything that could affect the housing market so you can build wealth from a better position. We’ll also discuss the “graveyard of investment properties” and how one asset class, in particular, is about to be hit hard. With so much affecting the overall economy and the housing market, it can be challenging to pin down exactly what will and won’t affect real estate. That’s why staying up to date on data like this can keep you level-headed while other retail homebuyers run for the hills, scared of every new update from the Fed . Worry not; this episode is packed with some good signs for investors but also a few worrisome figures you’ll need to pay attention to. In This Episode We Cover The most important variables that could impact 2023’s housing market Which asset class will be hit hardest by price cuts and where investors can find deals Inflation , bond rates, and how the federal funds rate could impact homebuying Housing price predictions for 2023 and how far home prices could slide The seller’s vs. buyer’s market and how brand new investors can take advantage Whether or not cap rates will start to increase even as inflation pushes rents higher And So Much More!

With interest rates at the highest point in decades, multifamily and commercial real estate purchases have dropped by more than 50%. Cash flow looks almost nonexistent, but good deals could be right around the corner as inexperienced operators are forced to give up their properties or pay MASSIVE amounts of money to the bank. What can you expect as the 2024 housing market rolls around? Stay tuned; we’ll give you all the info! Alison Williams, SVP & Chief Production Officer at Walker & Dunlop, joins us to discuss “small balance lending” and where MANY multifamily investors get their money. Alison is able to tell you point-blank what a lender needs to see to lend on your deal, how much money you should be prepared to come to the table with, and what could happen as the bridge loan bomb begins to go off. Alison also believes we’ll see “a LOT of deals” in the coming months/years as operators are forced to refinance, foreclose, or sell. This presents a massive opportunity for new investors who have been starved of deals and are looking to pick up another property without paying 2021 or 2022’s high prices! In This Episode We Cover The bridge loan bomb that could blow up many investors’ deals Why multifamily and commercial real estate purchases have fallen off a cliff Default rates, foreclosures , and whether Alison expects them to go up Deals coming down the road and why investors with cash on hand could be in for serious discounts What a “good” deal looks like in 2023/2024 and what you NEED to get funding Alison’s biggest pieces of advice for investors and why many could be in for a “shock” And So Much More!

The NAR lawsuit just ended in a way almost no one expected. The NAR (National Association of Realtors), America’s largest association of real estate brokers, agents, appraisers, and more, just got dealt a blow that there may be no recovering from. This lawsuit, which focused on agent commission splits, ended in a $1.8B blow to NAR , and this could be just the beginning of a slew of lawsuits like this. To explain all the messy details, we brought Business Insider reporter James Rodriguez back on the show to explain this massive lawsuit, the verdict, and what this means for the entire real estate industry. This major lawsuit alone could bring sweeping changes to how agents buy and sell real estate and how they’re paid. Even more ground-breaking, the future of buyer’s agents now seems murky at best and non-existent at worst, as these commission structures may make buyer’s agents’ jobs almost obsolete. If you’re an agent, investor, buyer, seller, or broker, the effects of this lawsuit CANNOT be ignored because if the dominos continue to fall, we could wake up to an entirely new real estate landscape. In This Episode We Cover: The NAR’s real estate agent commission lawsuit explained The $1.8B verdict and why this could swell up to over $5B in losses for the defendants Why NAR and Keller Williams , two massive companies, weren’t able to win this case The future for real estate agents and how this could crush their commissions “Enormous” ripple effects that could come as a result of this lawsuit Why NAR’s CEO decided to jump ship after the verdict was announced And So Much More!

Airbnb is looking for a new type of host: renters . With housing costs rising nationwide, homeowners have almost always been able to rent out their properties to make an extra buck. But, until now, renters haven’t had the same opportunity. And, as mortgage rates rise and rents stay high, many renters are biding their time, hoping to save up enough so that when rates drop, they can snag the home they’ve been dreaming of. Airbnb is trying to make this easier. Jesse Stein , Global Head of Real Estate at Airbnb, is no stranger to the world of hospitality. His background with hotels made him the perfect candidate to join Airbnb. Jesse comes on the show to talk about the short-term rental industry , where it’s heading, whether or not it’s growing , and a new type of “host” that Airbnb is trying to help create. Jesse’s team at Airbnb has partnered with some of the largest apartment communities in the country to offer renters a deal that’s almost too good to pass up: the ability to rent their place while they’re away. Now, high-cash flow house hacking isn’t just reserved for homeowners , and a move like this could help with the wallet-crushing affordability issues we’ve talked about so many times on the show. In This Episode We Cover: Short-term rental market trends and why consumers are still spending so much on travel Growing regulations and Airbnb’s response to cities cracking down on short-term subletting The new “Airbnb?friendly apartments” that allow renters to house hack like never before Renting vs. buying a home in 2023 and the savvier of the two choices The rise of medium-term stays and why more renters are using Airbnb for longer trips And So Much More!

We’re about to show you the eight best housing markets you’ve never heard of before. If you want boring, unsexy markets that give you mailbox money every month , have growing populations, cheap homes , and strong economies, bring your notepad because you probably haven’t thought of any of these markets before. We sent our On the Market researchers on a quest to find the country’s most boring, underrated, yet promising rental property markets —and we’re sharing the list with you today. From college football towns to underrated beach cities and strong manufacturing centers , almost all these cities have cash-flowing real estate where you can find steals and deals easier than already-tapped markets like Miami, D.C., or Denver. Some of these markets are on the smaller side.

Another housing market “frenzy” is much more likely than many of us thought. With the traditionally slow fall/winter season upon us and housing inventory gradually inching up, home buyers could get a much-deserved break. But this won’t last for long. The long-term outlook on the housing market isn’t looking good for buyers, and many Americans will be forced to rent as a result. So, what could cause the next home buying “frenzy”? We’ve got Clayton Collins , HousingWire CEO , on the show to give his take. HousingWire has been acquiring data and research companies as fast as possible, trying to build the most perfect picture of the housing market available. And right now, it looks great for sellers but not buyers. With inventory still in the gutter and mortgage rates at a twenty-year high, homeowners will only consider selling once rates have dropped. But won’t lower rates flood the market with eager home buyers all over again? We’ll get Clayton’s opinion on what could fix the inventory shortage, when mortgage rates could drop , real estate markets with the best chances of price cuts, and what to watch out for in 2024. In This Episode We Cover: America’s underbuilding problem and how this could create an inventory shortage that lasts decades Whether or not rising housing inventory is a sign of a coming crash The real estate markets most likely to see price cuts in the coming months/years What has caused mortgage rates to stay so high for so long (and what will happen when they fall) The housing market “frenzy” that could restart once THIS happens Multifamily mayhem and big problems in today’s rental market And So Much More!

Mortgage demand has fallen off a cliff , according to ICE’s recent Mortgage Monitor Report . With affordability hitting new lows and mortgage rates still rising, home buyers have simply given up on buying a house any time soon. Mortgage applications are now forty-five percent below pre-pandemic levels, and something BIG will have to change for buyers to jump back into the market—are lower home prices the answer? To explain the Mortgage Monitor Report’s most recent findings, we brought on ICE’s Andy Walden . Andy has the most recent home buyer, mortgage rate, foreclosure, and delinquency data to share. We’ll talk about the buying power that’s been wiped out of the market, why mortgage applications fell off a cliff, rising unaffordability and whether or not it’ll force foreclosures , and the real estate markets with the most potential for home price growth . Andy even gives his 2024 housing market forecast with some eerie warnings about what could happen to home prices as we reach an “ inflection point ” in the market and enter the traditionally slower winter season. In This Episode We Cover: Why mortgage originations are falling faster than ever before (and what this means for home prices) Andy’s Q4 housing market forecast and how to tell where prices are headed Foreclosures , delinquencies, and why “ distressed sellers ” aren’t flooding the market Why investors have “backed off” the housing market waiting for mortgage rates to dip Regional housing markets that could see the best (and worst) home price performance The rising popularity of assumable mortgages and the massive downside to doing one of these deals And So Much More!

The Fed’s new “neutral interest rate” could mean pricier mortgages, less cash flow , and higher home prices for longer. After the great financial crisis, interest rates were kept in check, slowly sliding down for over a decade. But, since the pandemic, things have gone the opposite way. Mortgage rates have hit multi-decade highs , bond yields have crossed new territory, and we could be far from things returning to “normal.” If you want to know the math behind the mortgage rates and understand what the Fed does (and doesn’t) control in a high-rate world, Redfin’s Chen Zhao can break it down for you. In this episode, Chen goes through the economic indicators tied to mortgage rates , how bond yields affect banks' lending power, why the ten-year treasury is at a historic high, and the Fed’s newest “neutral interest rate.” We’ll also get into the potential effect of next year’s presidential election on mortgage rates and the housing market and what to look for to gauge where we’re headed. If you want to know where interest rates will go , Chen details the roadmap in this episode. In This Episode We Cover: The math behind mortgage rates and what causes them to rise and fall The Fed’s new “neutral interest rate” and why mortgage rates could stay where they are for a LONG time Bond spreads , how they affect mortgage rates , and why they’ve taken a massive leap Reaching economic equilibrium and how the Fed plans to keep unemployment and inflation down The 2024 presidential election and whether Democrats or Republicans could help/hurt the housing market And So Much More!

The real estate commission lawsuit that threatened buyer’s agents’ income is coming to an end. The conclusion? There could be even more murkiness ahead , and agent commissions are far from future-proofed. This settlement could either have been a cash grab from the get-go or a way to end the “unfair” buyer-seller agent commission split . So, how will this affect buyers and sellers today , and will these lawsuits make a difference on your next home sale or purchase? We’ve got the hard-hitting housing market headlines you need to hear about on this episode of On the Market . First, we’ll talk about RE/MAX’s settlement and the future for buyer’s agents . Then, we’ll uncover why exactly housing starts have started (no pun intended) to freeze and why apartment investors could be begging you to take land off their hands . And, if you’ve ever wanted your home to pay you money every month, the new “ passive home ” development has just what you’re looking for. But with a high initial purchase price, are the savings/profits worth the cost? Finally, if you thought you were smart for house hacking, prepare for an ego-blow because Dave Ramsey wants YOU to know that subsidizing your mortgage is a move for LOSERS . Sell that investment property, buy your house in cash, and prepare some beans and rice for dinner! All that and more on this episode! In This Episode We Cover: The RE/MAX agent lawsuit settlement and what this means for real estate agent commissions Too many agents, not enough housing, and why “change” is coming to the industry Home construction numbers and why housing starts dropped to their lowest level in years The “passive home” with such massive energy savings that utility companies will pay you to live Dave Ramsey’s house hacking rant and why his investing advice doesn’t quite hit the mark And So Much More!

The Chinese real estate crisis could mean much more for the global economy than you think. One economic giant falls, and other interconnected countries, like the United States, feel the shockwaves. As more and more bad news (or LACK of news) comes out of China, we have one question: how will our housing market , stock market , and government be affected? The Motley Fool ’s Bill Mann is on to help answer. Bill works as a “treasure hunter,” searching for underpriced but financially sound stock investments for all of The Motley Fool ’s subscribers. As a result, Bill’s research goes far beyond the borders of the United States. He’s constantly looking at global markets and industries to see which could be on track for a meteoric rise. In today’s episode, Bill walks us through China’s economic crisis, their “rotting” real estate, and what happens if they continue into a deflationary spiral. Then, we talk about Taiwan’s chip manufacturing monopoly and what would happen if a global conflict threatened this industry’s safety? Finally, Bill gives us a global economic forecast with his two cents on interest rates , the “economy of the future,” and the USD “wrecking ball.” In This Episode We Cover The spiraling Chinese economy and why their real estate is beginning to “rot” Chip manufacturing and the most important technological industry you’ve never thought about Taiwan’s semiconductor monopoly and why the US is going to great lengths to protect it The USD “wrecking ball” and how a strong dollar could hurt global economies One country that could become the “economy of the future” An interest rate prediction and whether or not Bill thinks the Fed has any more room to hike rates And So Much More!

The multifamily real estate market went from bad to worse. Interest rates are still at record highs , cap rates have somehow stayed compressed, rent growth looks bleak at best, and sellers refuse to budge on their prices. As a result, inexperienced operators are picking up so-called “deals” to shop around to their investors—and they could be walking into a massive financial trap without even knowing it. If you want one hundred and one reasons NOT to buy multifamily right now , Brian Burke is here to help. But, if you want a counteracting force of optimism as to why you should pursue multifamily properties, Matt Faircloth can balance out this debate. These investors have owned and managed THOUSANDS of apartment units , but NEITHER of them has bought in over a year. Brian even went as far as selling most of his portfolio right before the commercial crash, a move many thought was far from wise at the time. These two time-tested multifamily experts come on today to talk about the commercial real estate crash , the “chaos” that could ensue over the next year, why inexperienced syndicators are about to bite the dust, and why multifamily investing may not be the move to make in 2023 . Think this is just a bunch of scare tactics to keep you away from good deals? Tune in to be surprised. In This Episode We Cover: The multifamily market crash and why sellers are STILL asking for all-time-high prices Risky real estate debt and what you MUST know about commercial financing before you buy another property What Brian and Matt MUST see in a property before they send in an offer The “ wave of foreclosures ” that won’t come and deals being done in the shadows What to do RIGHT now as the market is in shambles to make the most money in the future Cap rate compression and why these high multifamily prices can’t last And So Much More!

A 2024 recession looks a lot more likely than it did just a few months ago. While many Americans were hoping for a “ soft landing ,” that might not be what we get as the economy hits a breaking point . With the government only temporarily saved from a shutdown , auto workers going on strike for cost of living adjustments, student loans resuming , and oil prices skyrocketing as production slows down, we may be forced to enter into a recession. On the flipside, GDP remains strong, Americans are still spending , and unemployment is historically low. While this could quickly change, it begs the question: is the American consumer stronger than high interest rates , rising prices , and the threat of an unknown future economy? We brought on the full On the Market panel to give us their take on where we’re heading and which economic threats could bring down the economy. We’ll get into the nitty-gritty of the recent UAW strike that is putting a bottleneck on transportation, the government shutdown that risks millions going unpaid, student loan resumption that could force Americans to forgo optional spending, and an exacerbated oil price increase that is hurting the everyday American (and especially Californians). In This Episode We Cover: Four economic factors that could force us into a 2024 recession NAR’s recent scandal and why Redfin has decided to finally cut ties Student loan payment resumption and a massive cut in Americans' discretionary spending The UAW strike that could hurt traditional car manufacturers even more A looming government shutdown and the direct effects it has on the markets Increased oil prices and why your deliveries, construction projects, and renovations could cost even more And So Much More!

The housing market is now aggressively out of reach for first-time home buyers . Nearly sixty percent of homes for sale are unaffordable to the average American. What’s causing such a lack of affordability? High mortgage rates, meager supply, and baby boomers refusing to sell their single-family homes (seriously). These factors have created a housing market where “ forced renter households ” will become the norm…but not for long. According to Matthew Gardner , Chief Economist at Windermere Real Estate, there’s at least some hope on the horizon . Mathew knows the solution to this almost unfathomable unaffordability issue , and it’s much simpler than most people think. In this episode, he talks about the primary driver of high home prices , the factors causing so many Americans to rent, and why we can’t repair this market using the same housing market “incentives” that worked in the past . And, as someone who works regularly with large-scale investors, Mathew has some advice for those still trying to invest in a market where profits seem improbable. When will mortgage rates head down? How long will unaffordability last? And what’s the solution Matthew thinks will solve it all? We’ll get into all that in this episode! In This Episode We Cover: The SINGLE factor that’s causing so much unaffordability in the housing market Home price updates and a surprising statistic about homes for sale Mortgage rate predictions and whether or not we’ll see them fall next year “Forced renter household” formation and whether America will become a renter nation Crucial advice for ANYONE who’s buying real estate in 2023 (and if you should wait) And So Much More!

The hotel vs. Airbnb battle may have just completely flipped . Post-pandemic, it seemed as if short-term rentals were the only places worth staying when traveling. Having a house with multiple beds, a kitchen, a private yard, and parking was considered too good for hotels to compete with. But, as the world reopened, travelers got tired of cleaning up after themselves and taking out the trash, and hotels began to claw back market share . With the idea of a short-term rental “collapse” constantly being pushed throughout mainstream media, we brought on AirDNA’s Jamie Lane to give us the facts about how the hotel vs. Airbnb battle is going. Jamie walks us through some surprising statistics about short-term rental occupancy , why things are starting to change in a post-pandemic world, the real estate markets seeing the worst (and best) performance , and how hotels are faring. For those who have seen their short-term rental markets start to struggle with so much supply and not enough demand, Jamie has some insider-only tips on finding smaller markets where you can still make a decent profit and how owning an international vacation rental may be your best bet as Americans leave the road-tripping and domestic flights behind . In This Episode We Cover: The short-term rental “collapse” and why occupancy is starting to fall The markets experiencing “normalization” as domestic travel becomes less popular Must-have short-term rental amenities that can almost guarantee you bookings Hotels vs. hosts and why Airbnb is losing market share to free buffet breakfasts Short-term rental regulations and how bans will impact hosts in every real estate market And So Much More!

House flipping profits are off the charts , so why are so many house flippers leaving the market ? Top flippers like James Dainard have seen their profits almost double, EVEN with today’s high interest rates . Wouldn’t now be the perfect time to take on more flips than ever? The experts say “no.” In fact, many of them have stepped away from flipping entirely , worried that the risk FAR outweighs the reward. To give us a more rounded view of this real estate market are Jessie Rodriguez and “I hate real estate but love money” investor Tarl Yarber . Jessie and Tarl have done HUNDREDS of flips throughout the past decade, but now, they’re doing fewer flips than ever before. With high holding costs , an uncertain economic future , and a greater risk of failure, now might not be the best time to start your flipping empire. But if you have experience, money, or time, you could make some serious returns if you are willing to take the risk. James, Jessie, and Tarl talk about what they’re looking for in today’s market , how to instantly lower your cost of labor on any flip, why so many expert flippers are leaving the business , and why you should “dollar-cost average” in real estate investing . In This Episode We Cover: The state of house flipping in 2023 and whether or not now is the time to jump in Interest rates , holding costs, and how much you can expect money to cost Why “quick flips” are FAR safer now than extensive, heavy rehab house flips Why Tarl quit flipping and the signs he’s waiting for BEFORE he gets back into the game Labor costs and how Jessie INSTANTLY cut down his rehab budget Dollar-cost averaging in real estate and whether or not it’s a smart move for rookies And So Much More!

The “Doom Loop” could cause banks, businesses, and commercial real estate to crash . With real estate valuations down, property owners begin to default , and credit tightens , causing the same cycle to repeat itself again and again, pulling banks and balance sheets down until we reach a bottom . But is this “Doom Loop” scenario just feeding the fear of a housing market crash , or are we months away from this becoming our new reality? We asked Richard Barkham , Global Chief Economist of CBRE, his take on what could cause a “Doom Loop” and what we should be prepared for. Richard’s team handles some of the planet’s most comprehensive commercial real estate data. When the masses run away in fear, Richard’s team sees opportunity, and if you listen to today’s episode, you’ll know exactly where the prices are too low to pass on . Richard gives his economic forecast for the next year, when the US could enter a recession , how high unemployment could get, and where commercial real estate prices are heading. While some commercial real estate sectors are facing dramatic price declines, others are looking surprisingly strong. But with a weaker economy and fear of a “Doom Loop” taking hold, are everyday investors safe from this potential economic catastrophe? In This Episode We Cover: he real estate “Doom Loop” explained and what could cause this chain reaction to tank asset prices The “global slowdown” and recession predictions for 2023 and 2024 The weakest and strongest sectors of commercial real estate (and which ones are underpriced) Cap rate updates and what will finally cause prices to improve again Best buying opportunities in 2023 and assets with rising rents and declining prices Unemployment , inflation , deflation, and what we can expect over the next year And So Much More!

Mortgage rates are ravaging the real estate market, but Warren Buffett is bullish on housing . With interest rates at twenty-year highs , almost any house is unaffordable to the everyday home buyer. And, with rising insurance costs , commercial real estate investors face HUGE policy hikes that are eating away at any leftover cash flow. But is this just the storm before the calm—have the price hikes peaked, and could we be in store for a more affordable market ? All the doom and gloom can seem scary; thankfully, Dave Meyer , James Dainard , and Kathy Fettke have brought their financial flashlights to make things a bit brighter. In today’s correspondents show, we’re talking about Warren Buffett’s latest move to invest in some of today’s top home builders and why “affordable” housing may be where the REAL money is made in real estate. Besides Buffett, we’ll also touch on the growing insurance crisis across the United States, who it’s impacting the most, and why Kathy’s latest bill jumped 600% (c’mon, Kathy). Could this insurance squeeze make the commercial real estate crash even more lucrative for buyers? Lastly, we’re talking about one of the most underground topics of 2023— mortgage rates . They’re climbing fast, but this could be a sign of lower rates to come! In This Episode We Cover: Why the world’s greatest stock investor is putting his money into residential real estate The ongoing inventory crisis and why we might be in a “2012” market in 2023 The insurance “squeeze” forcing commercial real estate investors out of their properties How to lower your insurance costs with simple, sustainable home improvements A mortgage rate update and crossing into the highest rates of the past two decades Rental property HELOCs and the best lenders to ask for one And So Much More!

The Fed has put the American economy under extreme pressure to lower inflation . Mortgage rates are now at twenty-year highs , job openings are starting to fall, “cautious consumers” return, and a 2024 recession is still in the cards. Everything the Fed wanted is finally happening…but it’s not happening fast enough. Can anything solve the inflation we’re up against? Few know the Fed as well as Nick Timiraos , economics correspondent for The Wall Street Journal . Nick has been tracking the Fed’s moves for years and has been our go-to correspondent on what Fed chair Jerome Powell could be announcing next. With inflation finally taking a hit and the economy slowing down , progress is finally being made. But this doesn’t mean that we’re out of the woods yet. The Fed knows the job isn’t finished yet and is willing to push the American economy to extremes to get there. In this episode, we talk to Nick about the Fed’s next moves , mortgage rate predictions , how the housing market could reignite, recession forecasts , and the “immaculate disinflation ” that could save our economy. In This Episode We Cover: Why the Fed is keeping mortgage rates high even as we see lower inflation Consumer spending and why Americans are being more “cautious” with their money Credit tightening and risks for businesses if interest rates don’t decline Why job openings are falling and what this means for unemployment 2024 recession risks and what would have to happen for a “soft landing” to actualize And So Much More!

We’re in the thick of a housing crisis . Buyers are waiting to pounce on properties, but there aren’t any houses to buy. Mortgage rates are high, and prices have risen or stayed flat in most parts of the country. So, where do first-time home buyers turn when there’s nowhere else to go? New construction homes! But it’s not just regular home buyers bidding on new construction . Investors are creating more competition as the existing home market slowly trickles out inventory. Nikolas Scoolis ’ team at Zonda has been distributing some of the most comprehensive new construction data for the 2023 housing market , and he’s got some good news to share. With new construction home sales sharply rising over the past year, builders are getting bullish, and home buyers are FINALLY getting their hands on some inventory . But, with so many home builders chasing luxury profits, are affordable houses even worth building? And while new homes bring some relief to the inventory crisis we’re facing, it may not be enough to balance supply and demand. Nikolas will get into new construction market updates , why new home sales are exploding , who’s buying, and the BIG incentives builders are promising buyers. In This Episode We Cover: The housing inventory crisis and if new homes will match demand Affordable housing and whether or not small square footage homes will come on the market Baby boomer investors vs. first-time home buyers and the fight for inventory Rate buydowns , free upgrades, and other incentives home builders are still offering Recovering markets that are seeing strength return after HUGE price drops And So Much More!

The Chinese economy is facing one of its most significant tests in years . With real estate prices falling off a cliff , unemployment skyrocketing, and a currency crisis, Asia’s largest economy could hit even harder times ahead. But this doesn’t mean the rest of the world will remain unaffected. In the US, recession risks are starting to rise as hopes of a “ soft landing ” are gradually fading away. With inflation still rearing its ugly head and American households running out of cash savings, the worst could be yet to come. To give us a global view of the economy is Bloomberg LP’s Chief US Economist , Anna Wong , who also served on the Federal Reserve Board , the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers , and the US Treasury . Few people in the entire country have as good of a read on today’s economic situation as Anna, so we spared no questions about what could happen next. Anna has some recession predictions that go against the grain of popular economic forecasts. From her data, the risk of a recession is far from over , and we could be heading into a shaky Q4 of 2023 and a dismal start to the new year. She details what could happen to inflation , unemployment rates , foreclosure risk , and why the Chinese economy’s failures could have lasting effects back home. In This Episode We Cover: Why a “soft landing” looks unlikely as recession risks begin to rise again Bankruptcies, delinquencies, and why American consumers are running out of time Recession forecasts and when the worst economic effects could hit Deteriorating credit and why American home buyers are falling back into 2008 traps Chinese economic downfall and what’s causing Asia’s largest economy to crumble Effects on the US and how a global recession could appreciate the dollar’s worth And So Much More!

Buying a house in the 2023 real estate market is already exhausting . Sellers have regained control, and homebuyers are back bidding over every reasonably priced house within a decent school zone. But, buyers have gotten smarter, paying attention to one strategy that allows them to break even or sometimes cash flow , even with today’s sky-high mortgage rates . And our two expert agents from entirely different markets agree: this is the way to go. To finally tone down Henry Washington’s non-stop Northwest Arkansas propaganda, we’ve brought Ryan Blackstone , local Arkansas agent and broker, on to the show to break down exactly what moves are being made in his “affordable” market . But we’ve also got BiggerPockets royalty, Anson Young , to give his take on where the significantly more expensive Denver market is headed. Both agents review what buyers are looking for , what’s selling , whether the buyer or seller has control, and the strategies smart investors use to cash flow even in an impossible housing market. In This Episode We Cover: Why we may be back to a seller's market and which properties are getting bid up The one strategy you can use in 2023 to create cash flow (it’s much easier than you think) Seller concessions and why new developments are making BIG price cuts Doubling your cash flow almost overnight by changing one part of your lease The one thing that could trigger a wave of buyers to come back to the market And So Much More!

New real estate commission lawsuits could change home buying and selling as we know it. Long gone may be the days of buyers walking away paying zero commission and sellers having to bear the entire burden of a real estate transaction. Two new class action lawsuits against the National Association of REALTORS (NAR) could change how agents are paid and deals are done, but should investors even care? We brought in James Rodriguez , Senior Real Estate Reporter at Business Insider, to explain exactly what could happen to commissions , what this means for the future of buying and selling real estate, and whether or not the next agent extinction is on our hands. With over $40 billion in damages from these combined lawsuits, real estate agents may wake up to an entirely new housing market where their services are rarely needed. But who’s forging this fight against real estate agents, and why are they pushing for a “decoupling” of commissions ? And, if you’re a full-time agent, should you be concerned about where your next paycheck could come from, or is this merely a hollow case with no REAL threat to hard-working agents and realtors ? Stick around; we’ll get into who should (and shouldn’t) be worried. In This Episode We Cover: The multi-billion dollar NAR lawsuits explained and why commissions could be “decoupled” A BIG threat to buyer’s agents and what happens when their services are no longer needed Whether or not using an agent is worth it , and why most investors will STILL rely on realtors and agents The potential of an MLS (multiple listing service) overhaul and combining all local listings into one Paying agents per hour and the future of real estate commissions And So Much More!

Holding on to hope that mortgage rates could hit four or even three percent again? Unfortunately, that doesn’t look likely , at least to Liz Ann Sonders , Chief Investment Strategist at Charles Schwab. While Liz spends most of her waking hours thinking about the stock market, she always has her finger on the overall economic pulse . Whether it be bond yields , mortgage rates , economic cycles , or banking crises , Liz Ann needs to know market moves in order to manage Charles Schwab’s $8 TRILLION in assets. For most heavy real estate investors, the stock market is confusing at best and a game of chance at worst, but NOT knowing what’s happening in one of the largest investment markets in the world could be to your detriment. Since the stock market moves quicker and reacts to economic data at almost instant speed, real estate investors can get ahead by popping out of the property market we’re so preoccupied with. In today’s episode, Liz Ann not only touches on the state of the stock market but why so many investors are acting out of pure emotion (and not logic), the effect rising bond yields will have on mortgage rates , why savvy investors refuse to “ fight the fed ,” and the “ rolling recession ” that could explain 2023’s constant economic hills and valleys. In This Episode We Cover: The “rolling recession” and why its economic effects won’t hit us all at once Why mortgage rates won’t go back to 2021 levels EVEN when bond yields fall The psychology of emotional investing and why most investors are forfeiting data when making decisions New “bullish” signs from stock investors and what they’re investing in Why waiting for a recession to invest could be a MASSIVE financial mistake And So Much More!

Housing affordability has reached lows that most Americans never knew existed . After home prices had an unprecedented multi-year run-up and mortgage rates got hiked, the average home buyer was out of luck. They couldn’t afford a house , and even if they could, the chances of getting one were slim to none when no inventory existed. Many now hold on to a hope that affordability could be around the corner, but this isn’t looking likely , at least not according to the most accurate forecasters in the country . Doug Duncan , SVP and Chief Economist at Fannie Mae doesn’t just do the standard housing market forecast models. His team at Fannie Mae has come up with the most accurate predictions of the housing market to date through a combination of judgment, market sentiment, and math. Today, Doug is on the show to give his data-backed take on home prices, mortgage rates, and the affordability crisis. There is some good news for homeowners and not-so-good news for home buyers, but Doug brings some solid advice for those still struggling to buy a home, plus a forecast of when things could finally turn around . If you want to know whether a recession is still in the cards, what home prices will do, and when affordability will reach equilibrium, tune in! In This Episode We Cover: A 2024 home price forecast that most didn’t think was possible Housing affordability and why we may not see relief for YEARS to come Recession watch and whether or not we’re in the economic clear Data modeling and why you CAN’T just rely on the math for your housing market predictions Advice to first-time home buyers and what you MUST have before you try to buy And So Much More!

The housing market “recession” is…over? At least, that’s what some economists think. But it doesn’t feel so stable for the rest of us real estate investors. Home prices are still dropping in some markets, teetering on stability in others, and hot as ever in growing areas. With mortgage rates rising and the Fed staying true to its word , how can we be so sure that home prices won’t begin to fall across the nation? We’re back with another headline show where Dave Meyer, James Dainard, Jamil Damji, Kathy Fettke, and “the only investor in Arkansas,” Henry Washington, give their take on some of the hottest housing market stories of late. We talk about the NAR ( National Association of REALTORS) declaring the “housing recession” to be (potentially) over , why banks are tightening credit and denying loans more than ever before (and how to still get funding), why lowball buyers are actually in the right, and the cities across the US most poised for growth . With offers becoming harder and harder to get accepted , interest rates rising, lending on lockdown, and sellers still living in 2022, you MUST invest smarter to build wealth in today’s market. Thankfully, all our guests are doing just that and dropping some gems on beating the regular buyers by being smarter, faster, and picking up deals for less! In This Episode We Cover: The “housing recession ” and why some economists think it may be over Why investor buying activity remains high EVEN with rising mortgage rates The commercial credit crunch and why banks are refusing to lend on specific assets Five reasons you’re getting lowball offers and why buyers NEED to stay reasonable The US cities most poised for growth and Henry’s secret city to invest in (it’s NOT in NW Arkansas!?)

Home prices were supposed to crash …right? Not quite. If you were hoping to snag a steal of a deal on your first home, we’ve got some bad news. But, if you’re a homeowner or investor who was crossing their fingers that their equity would stay stable, things are looking good! As the housing market begins to “adjust” back to normal , investors are asking themselves, “ What happens next? ” We brought repeat guest and fan-favorite Rick Sharga , founder of CJ Patrick Company and former EVP of Market Intelligence at ATTOM, back on the show to share the findings of his most recent investor survey . Rick and his company have been tracking the sentiment of small retail investors —a dataset we rarely get to hear about—and he has some news to share. Investors are thinking about the housing market differently than most would assume. With high mortgage rates and financing fatigue, rental property investors and active house flippers have the same thought: things could get better soon . But what could change? Will inventory ever rebound? And what could cause another hot housing market? All that, and more, in this episode! In This Episode We Cover: The one investment strategy that has been dramatically declining (and why it may have a comeback) Home prices and whether or not we’ve bottomed out already What small retail investors think will happen next in the housing market The #1 challenge investors are facing today (and when this could improve) An “inflection point” for real estate and whether competition will heat back up Fixing the inventory problem and how long it will take to return to “normal” levels Declining and rising real estate markets that Americans are moving away from/to And So Much More!

Looking for a high- cash-flow real estate market ? Well, you’ll need low home prices to make that happen. With mortgage rates still at multi-decade highs and affordability at forty-year lows, there isn’t much cash flow to around…unless you’re investing in one of these markets. And while “cheap” rarely means “good,” there are a few housing markets on this list that investors can feel safe parking their money in. Unless you have a million dollars in the bank or already own a portfolio of beachfront homes in Hawaii, you’re probably looking for the best market to stretch your investing dollars . Thankfully, we’ve got just that as the On the Market panel covers the ten most affordable housing markets in the United States . We’ll get into the nitty-gritty of the top four and highlight which we’d invest in and steer clear from. Some of these markets have huge manufacturing entering the area , prompting massive job growth that could surge home prices . But, with most unaware of this type of economic movement, investors like you can take advantage by getting into these affordable markets before they become boomtowns! In This Episode We Cover: The ten most affordable real estate markets across the country (and which we’d invest in ) Two markets that are about to experience massive job growth but STILL offer low prices Cash flow vs. appreciation and which market to invest in if you want LONG-term wealth Entering the “investor’s market” and why real estate investors have the upper hand in 2023 How to vet a rental property market and the metrics you MUST pay attention to before you buy And So Much More!

The housing market has dealt a tough hand to real estate investors as of late. Prices are staying the same, but mortgage rates are rising , rents have peaked, and so-called “easy” investments have been increasingly difficult to manage. The “lazy” investors who bought simple short-term rentals are now sitting with empty units, and BRRRRers that never adjusted their strategy are stuck with standard houses producing bleak returns . What’s the right move to make when investing is harder than ever before? We wanted to know what’s REALLY happening in the housing market. So we brought on short-term rental expert Avery Carl , father of the BRRRR method David Greene , and luxury flipper James Dainard , to get their opinions on what’s working, what isn’t, and what investors should do now. Surprisingly, all these experts agree that ONE type of investing is the best way to go , and it’s such an obvious choice that you may miss it. But, before this real estate investing strategy smackdown begins, we’ll get to know the current states of short-term rentals, flipping, and BRRRRing , plus which strategies are making money and which are falling flat. This is a new housing market; if you want to make it, you can’t play by the same rules. In This Episode We Cover: The ONE investing strategy ANY investor can use to make more money in 2023 The short-term rental slowdown and why basic hosts are in trouble Flipping houses and the almost unbelievable returns you could be making in today’s market Why “lazy” investors are about to get crushed (and what they can do about it) BRRRR blunders and why this strategy may have to be put on ice until rates drop Avoiding the “ turnkey trap” that’ll tie you to a boring house, making bleak returns And So Much More!

Real estate investing advice is everywhere , especially from people who don’t invest. You’ve seen the financial influencers screaming, “Don’t buy!” or “Wait for the crash!” often while doing a little dance or pointing to some cherry-picked statistics . While this amateur advice rarely gets considered by investing experts, those who are just getting started are susceptible to following this dumpster fire of investing guidance and will end up losing money as a result. But don’t worry; we’ve brought the antidote to this horrible advice. We got the entire On the Market panel together to give their favorite pieces of lousy investing advice and what to do instead so you can ACTUALLY build wealth . From waiting for the crash to only buying foreclosures to purchasing a property way over your budget, this real estate investing advice is some of the worst, if not most hilarious, we’ve seen in a long time. And with the economy on the edge of a recession, now is NOT the time to take money tips from twenty-two-year-olds on the internet.

Real estate agents had it made over the past two years. When mortgage rates were low , buyers lined up to make bids, sellers were ready to upgrade, and properties were flying off the shelves. For almost any agent in any market, business was booming, and it seemed like it wouldn’t ever stop. Then mortgage rates began to rise, monthly payments became dangerously unaffordable, and the agents looking for easy commissions disappeared . But what if an industry expert told you there was still hope to help buy and sell homes? Nick Bailey , President and CEO at RE/MAX , has been in the real estate business since he was a teenager. After buying the building his local pizza shop operated in , Nick went on to house hack in college , building an impressive career at not only RE/MAX but Century 21 and Zillow . He understands the agent business better than anyone and wants YOU to know the secrets to success . In today’s episode, Nick touches on the shocking statistic that most real estate agents fail, why average agents are struggling in today’s market, how homebuyers can get around today’s high fixed interest rates , and the one thing you NEED if you want to take home consistent commission checks. In This Episode We Cover: Fixed-rate vs. adjustable-rate mortgages and new loan products that put buyers in a better position Market trends and why fix and flippers are becoming (temporary) rental property owners Why most real estate agents fail (and the steps to success that top agents follow) How to find a great agent , whether you’re a first-time home buyer or investor Niching down and why modern agents will FAIL if they can’t find their focus Why agents MUST do more than sell real estate to build wealth And So Much More!

Need housing market predictions ? We’ve got them. Unfortunately, they may not be exactly what you want to hear. While most landlords hope and pray that mortgage rates will head down and the housing market will finally open back up, reality paints a much different picture. With inflation still high and the Fed refusing to budge on rates, we could be in for a wild ride over the next six months. So, what will unfold before the clock strikes midnight at the end of 2023? Stick around and find out! We brought in the heavy hitters for today’s episode. J Scott , syndicator and author of numerous best-selling real estate books , but most importantly Real Estate by the Numbers , brings his stoic and scarily accurate take to the podcast. But that’s not all. BiggerPockets CEO Scott Trench joins us to give his investor, executive, and homeowner opinion on what’s happening in the housing market. Of course, Kathy Fettke , multi-decade investor and syndication expert , brings her unique view from booming markets. We’ll go over the housing market , inflation , interest rates , unemployment , and the overall state of the economy in this show. From explaining why the Fed will either drop or raise rates this year to examining the impact of a potential recession , then discussing the somewhat cherry-picked stats chosen by the Fed , this episode goes MUCH deeper than real estate, and you could get caught off guard this year if you don’t know what’s coming. In This Episode We Cover: 2023 housing market predictions and why “ things are going to be messed up ” for years to come Why mortgage rates could fall (or rise) and what could cause the Fed to move Unemployment stats and why the “gig economy” could be in danger False inflation numbers and what will force inflation to drop, then spike , this fall The commercial real estate crash and why multifamily investors could see a profitless next few years And So Much More!

Buying a home might not be the best idea in 2023 . You’ll have to go through a few challenges to get one under contract. First, find a homeowner who wants to sell their home; you’ll need to convince them that ditching their low rate is worth the price. Then, secure funding; but with even the best home buyer loan, you’ll probably be stuck with a seven percent rate . Wouldn’t it be easier just to rent and invest the rest of your money? According to Daryl Fairweather , Ph.D., Chief Economist at Redfin, that’s precisely what you should do. New data has shown that with home affordability at historic lows, now isn’t the best time to buy a primary residence. But where would you find the inventory even if you wanted to buy? “Locked-in” homeowners are refusing to part ways with their properties, and nobody can blame them. But, there are still a few metro areas worth buying in, and if you live in, or are moving to, one of these areas, you could be in luck. But Daryl doesn’t just explain the buying vs. renting debate. She also talks about buyer demand and its recent drop-off, mortgage rate predictions and what we can expect rates to get down to , risky real estate markets facing natural disasters , and news for real estate agents that could change how commissions are paid and collected. In This Episode We Cover Renting vs. buying and which is a better bet in 2023 Affordability, buyer demand, and why renting may be the only option for many Mortgage rate predictions and how low rates could go in the near future Insurance headaches from California and Florida and why insurers AREN’T signing new policies Migration patterns and where Americans are moving as home prices remain high New real estate agent commission news that could change who pays an agent for buying or selling a property And So Much More!

Thought we were done with mortgage rate hikes ? Not so fast. The Fed always has time to get mad about something else and push interest rates even higher. This time, a surprise job report makes the Fed furious and could lead to a much more difficult housing market for investors and homebuyers. But this news isn’t all we’ve got on this episode. We’re touching on some of the biggest stories across the housing market, summing them up, and sharing them with you so you can bob and weave with the ever-changing economy. Want to invest in real estate with just a thousand bucks? If so, you’re NOT in luck because one prominent real estate crowdfunding platform has just gone bankrupt . But don’t worry; it’s not all doom and gloom. The new jobs report is painting a stellar economic picture but could lead to you having a more expensive loan. And for those that own short-term rentals, one housing market forecaster is predicting a mass sell-off due to Airbnb host income declining . Finally, we’ll talk about home prices , whether they’re actually falling or not, and how home buyers are STILL bidding even during some of the lowest affordability we’ve ever seen. Keep your pulse on the property market; tune into this week’s real estate roundup! In This Episode We Cover Short-term rental stagnation and why hosts are seeing income dwindle Whether or not a massive vacation home sell-off could come to the housing market Mortgage rate hikes , new job numbers, and why the Fed is furious again PeerStreet’s recent bankruptcy and what this means for crowdfunding investors The half-truth of home prices “falling” and why some markets are still seeing bidding wars And So Much More!

The Federal Reserve could be steering us straight into the next great recession . After decades of monetary and fiscal debacles from quantitative easing to safeguarding big banks that hurt everyday Americans, it seems almost everyone wants the Fed to be taken apart and rebuilt or shipped away, never to have economic sway again. Grave mistakes have been made over the past two decades, many of which will have unfathomable consequences for today’s economy . So, can the Fed do ANYTHING to save us? Enough with the speculating. We brought former Advisor to The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas , Danielle DiMartino Booth , to tell us what happens behind closed doors. Danielle was there at the beginning of quantitative easing, fighting back against a program she knew would lead to a weak economy. Now, as Danielle puts it, “everything has come home to roost,” as quick decisions made in the last financial crisis put us in a massive economic bind. This is NOT good news for real estate investors ; those buying today could be in serious trouble in years to come. Throughout today’s episode, Danielle gives us her take on how the Fed could fix itself , current actions Jerome Powell , Chair of the Fed, has put into place to correct the course we’re on, and whether or not a “ soft landing ” is possible as the American economy heads into a recession . Finally, Danielle gives her advice on what real estate investors should do and why those exiting the market might be smarter than the rest of us. In This Episode We Cover Massive mistakes the Fed made during the Global Financial Crisis that we’re paying for today Quantitative easing explained and why “ money printing ” is so dangerous to the economy The “dual mandate” that’s making the Fed’s job almost impossible to achieve Recession predictions and whether we’ll face a soft landing or hard crash Why smart real estate investors are hoarding cash and refusing to buy False job data and why the unemployment rate is about to get even worse And So Much More!

We’re here with a HUGE student loan forgiveness update . Since President Biden was elected, those with student loans have been hoping and praying to have a sizable chunk of their debt wiped away. Tens of millions of borrowers would have been impacted , helping free up cash for those that need it most. But, on the other hand, taxpayers were staring at a $400B bill to forgive just a fraction of the student loan debt in America. The economic implications of student debt relief passing would have been huge, but a more significant economic impact could continue for borrowers. We’ve brought back Sarah Ewall-Wice , Political and Economics Reporter at CBS News, to give us a full student loan forgiveness update, break down what exactly happened in the Supreme Court , and what we must prepare for now that student debt relief is off the table. But, if you were banking on your loans being forgiven, fret not; a new plan may already be underway to give those with student debt another chance at redemption . Sarah walks through the legal battle the Biden Administration brought forth to get debt relief passed , what will happen to graduates now that the bill has come due, and whether or not defaults could increase across the board as a result. Dave and Sarah will also debate why a solution to rising college costs hasn’t been conceived and what you should do NOW if you have student loan debt. In This Episode We Cover A federal student loan forgiveness update and what will happen next Why the Supreme Court decided to axe the debt relief plan (it’s not what you think) Resuming student debt payments and what graduates need to do NOW Whether or not defaults across credit cards and mortgage payments could increase as a result The true cost of college and why unaffordable education MUST be tackled And So Much More!

Artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT might not be great at writing podcast intros, but when it comes to building a rental property or real estate portfolio , these platforms produce far more help than harm.

And, even if you don’t own thousands of rentals or do hundreds of fix and flips a year (like James), you too can use this real estate tech to make your life easier, spend less time working , and focus more on what your business needs from YOU. In this episode, Dave , James , Jamil , and Kathy will go over exactly how they’re using AI platforms such as ChatGPT , the systems and software they’ve implemented into their own businesses, whether or not more automation could threaten jobs , and how you, even as a small investor, can leverage the same tech top investors use to build wealth faster!

The next foreclosure wave is already brewing. Over the past few years, monetary moves and rash home buying decisions were made that could cause even more foreclosures to hit the market. The question is, which markets will face the most foreclosures , and how low will prices go? But that’s not all; foreclosure competition has started to spike as a new type of buyer enters the market for these deeply discounted properties. And if you want to know about foreclosures, discounted properties, and data on the markets with the biggest price cuts, Daren Blomquist from Auction.com is your man. As VP of Market Economics, Daren knows where the foreclosure market is moving before the masses do. In this episode, he gives his take on the next “wave” of foreclosures that could be headed our way, when it will hit , and the investing areas already feeling the effects. Daren also talks about the unexpected buyers entering the foreclosure market and how they could put investors at the back of the line for discounted deals. And if you’re in this specific state, prepare for your properties to be placed at open auction, as investors are forced to wait to acquire the foreclosure properties they rightfully won. Make no mistake; there are MANY deals out there for investors , but competition could start to heat up fast! In This Episode We Cover The “ seeds of a bigger foreclosure wave ” that are about to sprout Buyers bounce back and why the housing market and home prices have been so resilient A rise in foreclosures and what’s causing a steady uptick in homeowners forfeiting their houses New foreclosure laws that could make it even harder for investors to buy discounted properties Markets facing the deepest foreclosure price cuts Recession predictions and whether or not this will force even more foreclosures And So Much More!

While most people think just buying rentals is enough, having the money set aside to protect those rentals, and subsidize your business during rough markets , can make or break your real estate portfolio .

Home prices could become affordable without any of us noticing. In fact, home prices don’t even have to fall for the housing market to enter into a mild correction . With affordability hitting lows that we haven’t seen since the seventies and eighties, what could save today’s home buyers from paying for one of the most expensive mortgage payments of all time? Something must be done. And thankfully, it might already be happening. If you want to know the truth behind silent housing corrections , market-abandoning buyers, and where we could be headed , you better ask Andy Walden from Black Knight. We brought Andy on the show to talk about everything from mortgage rates to unaffordability , delinquencies , foreclosure fears, and what can be done to help our home buyers.

The housing market is stuck. Stubborn homeowners with low rates refuse to move , even as demand starts to pick back up. Homebuilders are driving ahead with more new construction homes, but is it too late to deliver the supply we so desperately needed only a year or two ago? Where is the housing market moving next, and how long will we be stuck in this standoff? Ivy Zelman from Zelman & Associates successfully predicted the last housing crash , so what does she have to say about today’s market? Ivy is a thought leader in the real estate research space. Her credibility has been showcased repeatedly as her team accurately forecasts numerous housing market moves . Constantly on the phone with institutional buyers and builders, Ivy tends to know what’s happening before even the top forecasters. In this episode, Ivy gives her opinion on today’s housing market , why buyers and sellers are “stuck,” and whether or not the “underbuilding” problem is even an issue as demographic trends start getting dangerous . She also shares which real estate markets are in the most danger , the concerning catastrophe facing many southern states, and the markets she’s most bullish on that could withstand the test of time. But, more importantly, Ivy shares her thoughts on whether or not real estate is still worth investing in and why it may be time for landlords to diversify into other assets that don’t come with such a considerable risk. In This Episode We Cover The single greatest danger affecting the housing market in 2023 The new vs. existing home challenge and why homeowners are stuck in place Affordable housing and why the “underbuilding problem” isn’t what you think it is “Tremendous” competition for rentals and which investors should be concerned Underrated housing markets that are seeing strong demand and demographic tailwinds 2008 vs. 2023 and whether another housing crash is even feasible in today’s market And So Much More!

Home sales have been falling fast since interest rates rose last year. After a spree of house shopping and record-low mortgage rates, homeowners sit comfortably in 2023. They’ve got affordable monthly payments, a home that is (probably) bigger or better than their last one, and expect a potential recession sometime soon. So why would today’s homeowners give up all that security to buy in a hazardous market ? Mark Fleming from First American has been trying to uncover the answer. Mark serves as Chief Economist for First American , one of the United State’s leading title companies. Mark’s job is to predict and forecast the housing market , home sales, and buyer activity. And in 2023’s topsy-turvy economy, this is becoming a little more difficult. Mark has built a model to help predict home sales , looking at key factors like household formation, affordability , current mortgage rates , demographics, and more. And he’s got some interesting findings to share. The days of low interest rates and property upgrading may be over . Homeowners are now staying in their houses for twice as long, holding off on buying their next home until favorable conditions arise. But, this creates a “prisoner’s dilemma” for home sellers and buyers. With most of the United State’s potential property inventory sitting in the hands of those who refuse to sell, we’re answering, “What happens next?” in this episode. In This Episode We Cover Home sales predictions and what happens when there is NO available inventory Loose monetary policy and how low interest rates caused an affordability spike Two critical factors that drive the market to soar or slump Home turnover and why today’s homeowner is “ locked-in ” and refusing to move The “prisoner’s dilemma” that’s caused the housing market to stagnate A return to the “new normal” and what future homebuying could look like And So Much More!

Everyone wants to know how to get rich in a recession . The problem? With many asset prices plummeting and a bipolar real estate market , parking cash in any asset could be considered a risk. But, a particular sect of real estate still makes money even if the housing market starts to crash and home prices freefall. This is one of the lowest-risk ways to start investing , especially during a recession, and it made our expert guests, James Dainard and Jamil Damji , very wealthy. James and Jamil have been using this strategy since the early 2000s. When home prices started plummeting in 2008, buying rentals became risky, and fix and flips got decimated. Thankfully, this often misunderstood type of “investing” allowed them to capitalize on the price action , picking up deals that would make great buys and passing them along to buyers who could hold their own during the crash. This same strategy still makes them millions of dollars today, and you can start using it! In Jamil’s newest book , How to Wholesale Real Estate , you’ll learn how to build a scalable wholesale business without much cash, experience, or contacts . This is one of the BEST ways for new investors to get started and is a phenomenal source of supplemental income for investors and flippers who have too many deals on their desks. Think it’s too late to make money in an economy like this? Think again! In This Episode We Cover Jamil’s newest book, How to Wholesale Real Estate , and using it to get your first deal done Wholesaling explained and why “trading” real estate may be better than investing in it Recession-proof real estate investing and why wholesaling is one of the lowest-risk ways to start making money in real estate Million-dollar relationships and the people you MUST have in your circle to be successful Finding buyers and why investors don’t disappear even when home prices start to fall The housing markets that are on FIRE for wholesalers (and which are showing HUGE opportunity) And So Much More!

The housing market REFUSES to slow down . Last year, homebuilders had a bleak outlook for 2023 home buying, but now, not even halfway through the year, they’ve reversed their sentiment with high hopes that demand stays red hot. How is this even happening? With mortgage rates higher than they’ve been in years and barely any inventory on the market, wouldn’t buyers take the hint and let their foot off the gas? We brought back John Burns from John Burns Research and Consulting to give us some answers. John’s team has some of the freshest housing market data available. With over 1,000 research contracts a year, they’re constantly talking to homebuilders, buyers, flippers, and everyone in the home-buying process. John touches on household formation and why millennials are saying “no” to roommates, even as prices rise. He’ll also talk about where Americans are moving , what’s causing construction costs to come down (but also grow?), and why the Fed is failing to kill the housing market . Also, if you want to give a hand to the generation helping young buyers the most, it seems that baby boomers are having an unexpectedly significant role in propping up the economy . We’ll also get into new affordable housing projects that could bring more starter homes on the market. Want to know John’s thoughts on what could happen in the housing market over the coming months? Stick around! In This Episode We Cover Why high mortgage rates HAVEN’T killed the housing market yet American migration and which states are starting to see stagnating populations Multifamily rent updates and why tenants may have the upper hand New builds , cheaper material costs, and why your next home may be a new construction INSANE debt-to-equity stats that highlight why homeowners refuse to sell New affordable housing projects that could give homebuyers better options And So Much More!

There have been a lot of market crash predictions over the past few years. Since the 2020 flash crash and subsequent asset price skyrocketing , investors have always had an inkling that this wouldn’t last. Once inflation hit decade-long highs, the Fed stepped in to quell constant price pumping, but that came with even higher mortgage rates . Now, commercial real estate investors and everyone else with short-term financing are stuck in a bind. Once these loans come due, they’ll either have to pay them off, refinance, or face foreclosure. So, what happens next? While Dave Meyer and James Dainard are housing market experts, neither know macroeconomic data as well as Fundrise’s Ben Miller , whose job is to predict market patterns and make the best investing decisions. Last time we talked to Ben, he hit on the “Great Deleveraging ,” which would force a massive commercial real estate crash , but today he’s talking about bank failures , a financial collapse timeline, and what he’s buying as soon as the market drops. The wealthiest in America know that market crashes and financial collapses aren’t a time to worry; they’re a time to make millions ! Ben shares the markets with the most opportunity, how to pick up properties for dimes on the dollar , and why hoarding cash during a time like this isn’t such a bad idea. So don’t fear market downturns like this; take advantage of them! In This Episode We Cover The “Great Deleveraging” explained and why commercial real estate prices will fall fast Bank collapses and what happens when liquidity starts to run dry Quantitative easing and whether the Fed will continue to inject the market with money Assets to keep an eye on during the crash and what Ben is buying Loans, lending, and what investors can do when banks won’t fund their deals Market crash predictions and when Ben expects the situation to escalate And So Much More!

The real estate market was supposed to crash, but it didn’t. Interest rates were supposed to cause a significant slowdown, but they didn’t. Hot markets were supposed to give buyers a break as activity plummeted, but...well, you get the point. The 2023 housing market could be summed up in one word: weird. With the Federal Reserve fighting against the market, sellers refusing to move, and buyers still dealing with record-low inventory, many of us question whether or not we’re stuck in a real estate-inspired groundhog day, where 2021-2022 repeats until infinity. While this (probably) isn’t happening, the real estate market is showing signs of restarting after a mortgage-rate-caused flash correction. Lance Lambert knows about this all too well. He’s been reporting on the housing market for years and knows exactly why America’s property market has become so polarized, even with such immense downward pressure. With cities like Austin still in the slumps and markets like Miami hitting housing price peaks, where is a safe place to invest? If you want to get a macro sense of where we are in the economy, how the housing market works, and why the Fed is having such a hard time, this is the episode for you. Lance brings us back to 2020 and explains how the pandemic fueled “gigantic” demand that was never met, why a housing crash didn’t happen, and whether or not mortgage rates could go even higher. In This Episode We Cover The “polarized” housing market and which areas are staying red hot while others freeze The post-pandemic property market effects and how the housing market hurt inflation efforts from the Fed Mortgage rate predictions and what could cause rates to rise or fall this year East vs. West Coast and why cities like Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles cooled off so quickly Affordability updates and why builders have the upper hand on the Fed The “Two C’s” that are controlling home prices and the housing market in 2023 And So Much More!

The US real estate market is a bit complex. In the South, homes are still quickly getting under contract as those from the North and West move to warmer climates. But demand is brewing in states that you probably haven’t even considered . Plus, a comeback no one expected could be on the horizon. In a market like 2023, anything and everything is up for grabs, and we could be back to the wild housing market we thought was left behind in 2022. To put each area of America head-to-head, we’ve got Dave Meyer , Henry Washington , James Dainard , and Kathy Fettke , representing the Northeast, South, West Coast, and Midwest, respectively. Each of these markets has its own set of benefits, ranging from affordability to strong job growth , optimal climates , and appreciation . So which area could be the best bet for investors in 2023? We’ll touch on the latest housing market data to see where each of these regions stand, where median home prices are heading, why often overlooked markets are finally getting the attention they deserve, and whether or not the West Coast truly is the best coast. If you want to invest but don’t know where, stick around! In This Episode We Cover Pitting the Northeast , South , West Coast , and Midwest markets against each other The surprising cities that are seeing HUGE competition even during a slow housing market Tertiary markets outside of big metros that could be solid investing areas A West Coast comeback and why demand is increasing in traditionally high-priced cities MASSIVE price jumps throughout the South (and the few cities where prices are falling fast) Affordable appreciation and why markets with low-priced homes won’t stay that way for long And So Much More!

Rising interest rates , a new recession , high unemployment , and much more economic uncertainty could be on the way. But what can you expect after such a turbulent past few years? The US took significant financial and monetary moves to prevent an economic collapse in 2020 , but as a result, mistakes were made. In 2023, we’re paying for the economic “errors” of our past, and many of them haven’t even caught up to us yet. Jason Furman, Harvard professor and former Director of the National Economic Council under President Obama , brings both optimism and realism to share. In Jason’s eyes, the “supply-based inflation” argument isn’t holding up, and something much more severe is causing prices to rise as rapidly as they are. So how do we get out of this bind? Jason shares the scenarios that would have to unfold for us not to end up in a recession or with higher interest rates , but reality foreshadows something much different. When will we break out of this constant cycle of price hikes? What has to happen for the Fed to finally take its foot off the gas? Will today’s strong employment last, or do jobs need to be cut for the economy to recover? Stick around to hear these questions, and many more, answered by one of the world’s leading economists. In This Episode We Cover 2023 economic forecasts from one of the world’s leading economists The true cause of today’s rampant inflation and what could finally force it to stop The “wage-price persistence” and why most people are wrong about price hikes Economic “errors” of 2020 and 2021 that we’ll be paying back for years to come Rising rates and whether or not the Fed is really done with bumping basis points Unemployment and how long today’s strong job market will actually last Consequences of the US defaulting on its debt and the scary-enough odds that it could happen And So Much More!

The most significant wealth transfer in American history could be upon us. As money-printing mania continues worldwide, dollars (and most other currencies) are worth less and less, while tangible assets , like real estate, are worth more. This is bad news for the average American , with most of their wealth trapped in a bank account or stock portfolio. If the most commonly used assets, like bonds, equities, and cash, become worthless , what happens to America? To help answer this seemingly unfathomable question is Chris Martenson , CEO of Peak Prosperity. Chris spent his early career working for some of the largest corporations in America , but after bubbles started to burst in the early 2000s, he took a look into the inner workings of the American economy . What initially started as a simple interest became an all-consuming quest to understand why political executives and massive institutions like the Federal Reserve were making irrational choices for the American people. In today’s show, Chris uncovers the truth behind quantitative easing , money-printing, and the Fed’s consistent financial swerving. He’ll also explain why bubbles are starting to burst in today’s economy, how interest rates had a large part to play in inflation , the new reality of de-dollarization , and why we may be on the cusp of the largest wealth transfer in American history . If Chris is correct, we could enter an entirely new era of the economy, one that only a few of us will thrive in. In This Episode We Cover Money-printing and the true effects of the Fed’s massive quantitative easing Asset price bubbles and which are the closest to bursting in 2023 Interest rate hikes and how they’ve contributed to hideous inflation De-dollarization and how America’s wealth could be at risk if USD loses its global status Defaulting on the US debt and what happens if the government can’t pay its bills The new American wealth transfer and why only these “productive” assets will survive The most important “capital” anyone can have if/when the economy breaks down And So Much More!

Multifamily and commercial real estate has been the butt of the joke over the past year. As mortgage rates started to rise, commercial real estate investors were hit hard, as profits became pitiful and asking prices laughable . For months, the media has been predicting a commercial real estate crash , citing a wave of mortgages coming due with sellers who won’t be able to pay the high price of a refinance. And while these fundamentals aren’t wrong, a mortgage meltdown might not be a reality. So instead of speculating, we brought on Richard Hill , Head of Real Estate Strategy & Research at Cohen & Steers, to differentiate the facts from fiction. Richard knows that loans are coming due , and buyers with low-rate adjustable mortgages may be in trouble. But that’s not the whole story, and some parts of commercial real estate could be primed for massive growth that residential investors have no clue about. The opportunities could be flowing soon for those who know where to look. In this episode, Richard will talk about the true risk of commercial real estate mortgages , which sectors are in the most trouble, which are being blown out of proportion, and how much investors can expect prices to drop . Plus, Richard gives his take on the three best times to invest in a quickly changing market like we’re seeing today. In This Episode We Cover The commercial real estate “crash” and how far prices will actually fall Commercial debt coming due and which sectors have the highest risk Bank failures and what’s causing big banks to dump their commercial loans The future of financing for commercial investments and whether funding will become a challenge Mortgage exposure and why demanding LTV (loan-to-value) requirements make for better investments The astronomical tax implications of defaulting on your mortgage (DON’T Do this) When to buy and which industries are primed for growth in the next few years And So Much More!

Homebuyers are gearing up for a hot summer housing market as demand starts to surge. At the beginning of 2023, nobody thought it possible that we’d be in the position we’re in today. Days on market have shrunk in some areas as listing attendance explodes and buyers' home-owning dreams resurface. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows in the world of real estate; something bleak is on the horizon for large-scale investors . We’re halfway through Q2 of 2023, and the real estate market is changing fast month by month. Multifamily buyers are sitting on the sidelines, foaming at the mouth to dig in on deals that will soon be dead , but primary residence shoppers are facing another challenge. With a lack of inventory and mortgage rates on the verge of falling again, the buyers who were kicked out of the market last year are hungry to get back in the game. Don’t know whether now is the right time to buy your next rental property ? Kathy and James give up-to-date advice on what they’re pursuing in today’s market and whether or not now is the time to get aggressive. If you want to get the data these (and many other) experts use to make their investment decisions, check out Dave’s newest Q2 housing market report !

Don’t you miss the “normal” housing market ? You know, a few years back when buyers didn’t have to bludgeon other bidders just to get into a reasonably priced house ? The times when the average American could afford a roof over their head, and sellers actually had a reason to put their homes on the market. Well, we may be returning to a “normal” housing market faster than you think , but a few key things will need to happen first. We’re back on On the Market , bringing you the most up-to-date housing market headlines , separating fact from fiction, and giving you everything you need to know to make the best investment decisions. This time, we’re running through four of the top stories in our newsfeeds.

High mortgage rates chewed up and spit out homebuyers, loan officers, and the mortgage industry. With a bump of a few percentage points, buyers exited the market quickly, and the number of mortgages got cut in half almost instantly. But what else can you expect from the most significant mortgage rate movement in forty years ?

The US dollar is in danger . For decades, trading in USD (US dollars) has been the standard for almost every country on the planet. Thanks to America’s consistent economy, stable government, and growing global market share, the USD has become the most sound currency on earth . But things are starting to change. USD dominance is being threatened by BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) , looking to ditch the dollar for a currency they control. But why are most countries trading in USD? When was USD chosen to be the world’s reserve currency ? And what does “reserve currency” even mean? Dave Meyer breaks it down in this episode of On the Market , as he details the history of USD dominance , the post-World War rise of a reserve currency , and why the “ petrodollar ” may be losing steam as other economies grow larger. Dave will also go in-depth on the economic effects of leaving a USD standard , when the USD could be replaced, which currencies are competing, and why dollar dominance (probably) won’t be over anytime soon. American or not, decoupling from a USD standard could have huge effects on your investments , wealth, and spending power. In This Episode We Cover What a “ reserve currency ” really is and how the USD was chosen to be one BRICS' fight for economic dominance and which currency will come out on top How the Ukraine-Russia conflict exacerbated the need for multiple reserve currencies Going off the gold standard and how a diluted US currency may have made things worse The “petrodollar” and why countries like Saudi Arabia are leaving the USD behind The often-untouched benefits of a non-USD-dominated world And So Much More!

Land investing may be the newest way to make cash flow in today’s increasingly difficult housing market. With more and more investors fighting over real estate deals that break even at best, land investors are sitting pretty, with an almost unlimited supply of new investments and an even more robust pipeline of potential buyers . And while land investing may not have the passive income potential of a rental property, there are still numerous ways to take home some serious cash flow by dealing dirt. Daniel Apke fell in love with land investing after a long history as a serial side hustler. He tried everything from ghostwriting romance novels to setting up stores online, but nothing gave him the financial freedom that land investing did. Then, thanks to a helpful tip from a mentor, Daniel was able to start buying land at SIGNIFICANT discounts . He would then flip this land on or off-market to anyone willing to buy, allowing him to walk away with a handsome payday WITHOUT dealing with tenants, toilets, or trash. Now, Daniel has built an entire business out of flipping raw land, and the perks of a property-less lot may pique your interest. Whether it’s low competition , no permitting hassles , or the ability to exit multiple ways , land investing could be an attractive alternative to rental property investing as competition gets tough. If you think there isn’t much under the surface of these dirt deals, you’d be wise to stick around! In This Episode We Cover Finding financial freedom through land investing and how you can repeat Daniel’s system Land flipping explained and where to find the most profitable lots of raw land The BIG bottlenecks you’ll face when selling land and how to get past them with creative financing The land-buying business model and how to buy, analyze, and sell dirt Off-market land and the best method to find undervalued lots with low competition Subdividing and lot splitting to make the most out of a large plot of land Land demand and whether or not this type of activity will last for years to come And So Much More!

Commercial real estate has seen a severe drop in demand. From office buildings to multifamily and more , rising mortgage rates and unwavering cap rates are making commercial real estate a gamble more than a grounded investment. But, when buyers start exiting the market, sellers get desperate, and this chain reaction allows committed commercial real estate investors to scoop up deals worth millions more just a few years back . We have a couple of those deals coming up on this episode! We’re back with another audience deal show . This time, we’re walking through two commercial real estate deals with serious potential , but their prices don’t match reality. First, we talk to Ben Mashat , who recently went full-time into real estate investing after scaling a successful wholesaling operation. He’s got a MASSIVE deal opportunity —a five-story office building with seven-figure potential profits. The problem? A price tag that doesn’t match today’s commercial property market. Next, we hear from Heidi De La Torre , who’s looking at a multi-unit beachside property with impressive price comps nearby. But, with zoning issues and a seller that can’t make up their mind , Heidi is struggling with which move to make as she debates taking on a project with this many pitfalls. As always, our panel of expert investors will give their suggestions on what our guests should do next and whether these deals are even worth chasing! In This Episode We Cover The state of commercial real estate and why sellers are getting desperate as the buyer pool dries up NOI (net operating income) explained and ENSURING yours is accurate before you get a deal under contract The downside of office investing and why so many buyers are straying away from this property type The cap rate debate and whether or not this metric is the most important factor when deciding on a deal Property zoning , code violations , and how unpermitted builds could COST you Wholesaling large deals and details you’ll NEED to find qualified buyers And So Much More!

Real estate scams and Ponzi schemes have been around for centuries, but with the advent of the internet, social media, and digital banking, more and more scams and schemes have been popping up. You might think that only the uneducated or ill-informed fall prey to these monetary predators, but you’d be wrong. Just recently, two of our expert guests, James Dainard and Jamil Damji, were ripped off in Ponzi schemes that the federal government intervened in. Thankfully, James pulled out his principal earlier on, realizing what was happening. But Jamil was blindsided, leaving him with a seven-figure loss . Both James and Jamil were brave enough to share their stories, and more importantly, the entire On the Market panel have come together to break down how NOT to get scammed on your next investment . Kathy Fettke , a syndicator herself, describes EXACTLY what to look for when passively investing in a deal and why inexperienced operators have become the norm in 2023. Next, Henry Washington shares what you MUST do to ensure a contractor doesn’t run off with your money and how to pace a project, so you aren’t left with an empty bank account and half-done home renovation . Then, we’ll switch gears as Jamil gives actionable steps to ensure your wholesaler brings you a real deal . Finally, James highlights which lenders you should or shouldn’t use and how inexperienced investors are getting strapped with loans that could liquefy their deals all at once. To finish the episode, James and Jamil give the nitty-gritty details of the Ponzi schemes they fell victim to and how even experienced investors can be taken advantage of. In This Episode We Cover Losing a million dollars on one investment and the telltale signs of a Ponzi scheme How to vet your syndicator /operator and why track record means EVERYTHING Paying your contractor in stages and the reason Henry will NEVER pay for a project all at once The documents you NEED to confirm when buying a deal from a real estate wholesaler “Backyard lenders” and why flippers/BRRRRers should consider taking loans that are close to home The “affinity fraud” Ponzi scheme and why you should NEVER invest based on faith A $650M movie rights scam and how James noticed the red flags before any other investor did And So Much More!

Back in 2008, the housing market was in freefall. With foreclosures at record highs, homeowners nationwide had to return their residences to the banks. The problem? Banks didn’t want them. Big banks never wanted to be conglomerate landlords. So, who did they pass the homes off to? Institutional investors, REITs, and iBuyers that many real estate investors fear and also blame for today’s real estate problems. But is today’s affordability crisis really Wall Street’s fault, or is there someone else to blame? Back from Moody’s Analytics, we’ve got Thomas LaSalvia and Ermengarde Jabir on the show to explain the situation. Over the past few years, there has been quite a lot of bad blood between single-family rental investors and institutional investors on Wall Street. For small, mom-and-pop investors, these large landlord conglomerates seem to be stealing homes, making it harder for new investors to get into the housing market and even more challenging for first-time homebuyers to get a primary residence. But, the data points to something different. Ermengarde and Thomas explain exactly what institutional investors have been doing as of late, how they may have saved the housing market during the last crash, whether or not they’re still buying in today’s market, and how they’re affecting everyday homebuyers. We’ll also touch on pricing, affordability, and why new construction is kicking starter homes off the to-build list. In This Episode We Cover What led to the 2008 housing crash and how Wall Street stepped in to stabilize prices How institutional investors have been growing over the past decade and their plan for the future Single-family home construction and why first-time homebuyers AREN’T the target market Homeownership, America’s “ renter nation ,” and whether or not Wall Street is stealing homes from buyers Why institutional investors ONLY buy in specific real estate markets (and where they’re buying now) Who owns the most single-family rental properties across the country And So Much More!

Bank failures were a thing of the past—until a couple of weeks ago. After Silicon Valley Bank ’s (SVB) fall from grace and numerous other regional and small-time banks going under, Americans are holding their cash with an iron grip , not knowing whether or not a recession or soft landing could be on the horizon. And with more economic instability comes more fear, panic, and doubt from the general public. Thankfully, we’ve got Mark Zandi , Chief Economist at Moody’s Analytics, to share some economic truths (instead of crash-fueled terror). Mark knows the economy inside and out and understands the true impact behind these bank crashes . He gives his opinions on whether or not this series of bank crashes could lead to an even greater recession , why the government was forced to build a bailout , and how real estate and the economy will be affected as we try to rebuild from this fragile system collapsing. And, if you’re worried that the big banks could start to crumble under their own weight , Mark has some information that’ll quell your fears. But we’re not just hitting on bank news. Mark shares how a “ slowcession ” could occur throughout the US, leading to a lackluster economy as unemployment grows and GDP growth slows. He also gives mortgage rate predictions and discusses the one real estate type that could be in BIG trouble over the next few years. In This Episode We Cover Silicon Valley Bank’s (SVB) collapse explained and why big banks aren’t worried The social-medial-fueled panic and fear cycle that is hurting the economy The bright side of a bank bailout and how to avoid a systematic collapse Recessions vs. “slowcessions” and why the latter WON’T be a soft landing Real estate prices and which property type could go BUST over the next few years Mortgage rate predictions and why we wouldn’t hold our breath on three-percent rates And So Much More!

Unemployment was supposed to be much higher by now . With the Federal Reserve increasing its rate hikes over 2022 and into 2023, the labor market should have cracked already. But it hasn’t, and many mainstream investors have struggled to determine why. With a higher cost of capital, businesses should be more selective with who they’re hiring and keeping, but instead, we’re seeing the labor market have much more power than they’ve had in the past. So, did we successfully dodge an employment crisis , or is a rude awakening coming our way? Joe Brusuelas , principal and chief economist for RSM US LLP, knows that we’re thinking about unemployment all wrong. As a leading economist with over twenty years of experience, Joe has seen multiple recessions, crashes, and unemployment crises . He knows exactly what it would take to make the labor market snap and push the country into a recession . Joe breaks down precisely what the Federal Reserve has been planning , when its interest rate hikes will finally take effect, and what the future of the labor market looks like. He also touches on how we may be entering an entirely different era of the economy , one with tight employment, higher interest rates , and higher inflation than we’ve been used to. This directly affects almost every consumer in America , and investors can get ahead of the economy by knowing when this unemployment scale will finally balance. So don’t sit on the sidelines and be surprised when these economic forces take shape. Tune in! In This Episode We Cover Why unemployment has been so low and when the Fed’s interest rate hikes will kick in How employment is calculated and why qualified workers are so hard to find “ Labor hoarding ” and the real reason big tech is so easily laying off workers Unemployment rate predictions and whether it’ll be like the last recession Entering a new era of the economy and why higher inflation, interest rates, and employment could be in our future US immigration and how restricting foreign worker flow has caused a “tight” labor market And So Much More!

Both SVB ( Silicon Valley Bank ) and Signature Bank have crashed and burned dramatically over the past week. What once was a few large customers making withdrawals quickly turned into a bank run of epic proportions . Within just a few days, SVB went from one of the largest banks in the United States to one of the biggest bank failures in the nation’s history . But what led to such a fast-paced collapse, and are more banks on the chopping block? You don’t need to be an expert economist to understand what happened at SVB and Signature Bank this week. But you will want to hear Dave Meyer’s take on what could come next . With bailouts back on the table, many Americans fear we’re on the edge of a total financial collapse , mirroring what unfolded in 2008. With more and more Americans going on cash grabs, trying to keep their wealth safe from the “domino effect” of bank failures , what should everyday investors prepare for? More specifically, for our beloved real estate investors, how could SVB’s failure affect the housing market? Will the Federal Reserve finally be forced to end its aggressive rate hikes ? Could money flood into real estate as hard assets become more attractive? Stick around as Dave explains this week’s wild events and what it could mean for the future of the US economy . In This Episode We Cover SVB’s (Silicon Valley Bank) collapse explained and why it failed so fast The bank run “domino effect” that could put other intuitions at risk Why a “bailout” happened so quickly , and whether customer funds were secured Bond yields and why making long-term investments was a risky bet for SVB The future of mortgage rates and how SVB’s failure could lead to fewer rate hikes The psychology behind a bank failure and how it affects the entire economy And So Much More!

The housing market is stuck in a standoff . On one side, you have buyers, repeatedly beaten with high home prices , higher mortgage rates, and almost non-existent affordability. On the other, you have the sellers , who are sitting on low-interest-rate mortgages , unwilling to take a price lower than they want, waiting for rates to come back down, so the bidding wars begin all over again. This standoff has caused the housing market to come to a halt, with inventory at unbelievably low levels and no one willing to buy or sell. But weren’t we supposed to be past this? When rates dropped earlier this year, the housing market looked like it was on a fast track to a real estate revival. But now, homebuyers, sellers, and investors don’t know where to turn. And that’s precisely why we brought on HousingWire Lead Analyst Logan Mohtashami , the one person who knows the real estate market better than the rest. Last time we had Logan on, he debunked the claim of a 2008-style housing crash repeat , and now, he’s on to forecast when the housing market could finally reach a healthy point again. Logan knows why homeowners aren’t selling, why buyers aren’t bidding , and when mortgage rates will come back down . With some simple stats and data, Logan lays out almost exactly what would have to happen for us to enter a normal housing market and gives a rough timeline of when we can expect these changes to take place . And if you’re still on the “it’s gonna crash!” bandwagon, we’d suggest sticking around for Logan’s full explanation, as it may completely reverse what you thought was conceivable. In This Episode We Cover Mortgage rate forecasts and what has to “break” for rates to come back down Foreclosures, distressed sellers, and why there isn’t more inventory on the market Homebuyers vs. sellers and why neither of these two will make moves until the other does 2008 vs. 2023 and why a Great Recession repeat is a lot less likely than you think What could cause affordability to rise and help homebuyers get into properties Rent growth declines and why rents are starting to stall even as homebuying becomes challenging The commercial real estate “crash” and which sector is most primed for price cuts And So Much More!

This housing market is a tough nut to crack. One week, rates are coming back down , buyers are gearing up to re-enter the real estate market, and investors are feeling optimistic. Then, the following week, inflation spikes, mortgage rates jump , and affordability plummets back down to a depressing level. Because of this topsy-turvy economy we find ourselves in, we get a slew of questions on almost every episode asking us to predict what will happen next . And today, the entire On the Market panel has flown out to Denver to get this live debate going. That’s right. Dave Meyer is joined by Henry Washington , James Dainard , Jamil Damji , and Kathy Fettke to pop some bottles, rock some chains (thank you, James), and give you up-to-date info on the housing market. We’ve taken a few of our favorite questions from the comment section and got the panel’s opinions on some of today’s most pressing topics . First, we’ll talk about why new homes are cheaper than existing homes in many markets and whether or not this is a red flag for the housing market. Then, we enter lender territory and discuss which markets are seeing new down payment requirements and which allow you to still score deals at ten to fifteen percent down . We’ll also revisit the commercial real estate crash and what could happen once these massive balloon payments come due. But don’t worry, there’s still some optimism afoot, as a couple of our expert guests predict a housing market boom could be coming in only a matter of months . So, don’t get caught in the rocky waves of this real estate market; tune in to get the scoop on everything happening on the market. In This Episode We Cover The incoming housing market “boom” that could start another buying frenzy New construction vs. existing homes and which is a safer bet as a new investor Down payment requirements and why so many lenders are asking for more The commercial real estate crash and how it could create insane deals for investors with cash on hand The state of the economy and why there’s so much contradictory data pointing in different directions Why you should always buy two plane tickets when planning your next trip And So Much More!

The 2023 recession is off to a strange start. Homebuyer activity has rallied, consumer spending is up, and unemployment is low. Is a recession really on the way, and if so, has anyone told the Fed what's happening in today’s economy? With a good chunk of economists still betting on a recession in 2023, who’s right and who’s wrong? And if there isn’t a recession incoming, can real estate investors take advantage of this artificial instability to get even better deals done? We’re back with our panel of experts, Henry Washington, Jamil Damji, and Kathy Fettke, to get their take on whether or not this period of economic uncertainty is over. Back in 2022, with mortgage rates picking up, inflation hitting decade-long highs, and the housing market starting to stutter, most Americans were right to believe that we were on the cusp of a recession. And real estate investors were doing deals left and right, trying to get as many homes under contract for the lowest price. And only a few months later, things have started to change, but investors are still getting incredible deals done, and if you tune into this episode, you can too! We talk about how this “white-collar recession” is causing more profit than panic for investors and why many Americans don’t “feel” we’re in an economic downturn. Our expert guests even give their best predictions on what could happen this year and into the next. So if you want to take home some SERIOUS profits like our guests did in the last crash, listen up! In This Episode We Cover A 2022 economic recap and why Americans didn’t react as they did during the last recession Testing today’s recession sentiment using the “underwear” theory Whether or not we’re in a recession and why real estate is always “first in, first out” The 2023 economy, housing market predictions , and why recession indicators don’t always work How to invest in 2023 and what our expert guests are doing to build wealth while markets are down Passive investing and why Dave’s private money lending bet could pay off as mortgage rates rise And So Much More!

The 2023 economy doesn’t fit what the forecasters were predicting. Inflation was up, but now it’s coming back down, interest rates keep rising, but homebuyer demand is coming back? As if there wasn’t enough contradictory data, employment is holding steady while we should be in a recession . What’s really happening behind the scenes , and how can you use economic headwinds to build wealth faster while everyone else braces for an impact that may never come? We’re back with Fundrise CEO Ben Miller to discuss the three economic scenarios EVERY investor should plan for in 2023 . Ben has learned something new about the economy (and himself) during every past crash. In the 90s, when real estate took a hit, young Ben was too carefree to be concerned. Then, when 2008 came around, Ben was left with scars from the market crash carnage . Now, after the 2020 flash crash and into a potential 2023 market crash, Ben knows better and is making bets that’ll make him, his company, and his investors very wealthy. Ben thinks it’s a mistake that most investors simply put one scenario forward when investing. He tells tales of some of the greatest investors using basic scenario planning to make a killing during any economy . In this episode, he’ll run through exactly how you can do this and why thinking in bets may be one of the best moves you can ever make. So, even if a housing market crash does come, you’ll be prepared not just to survive but thrive . In This Episode We Cover Why we aren’t in a recession yet and the contradictory crash indicators Scenario planning 101 and the three types of outcomes EVERY investor should plan for Thinking in bets and why a “ black swan event ” is much closer than most people think What could lead to an economic recession and why it’s getting impossible to predict one The best asset classes to invest in during 2023 and why institutional investors are taking big bets on debt Why base hit real estate deals will make you rich, but home run potential should always be taken advantage of And So Much More!

The housing market crash may be over already. With mortgage rates steadily dropping , buyer demand picking up, and competition creeping back in, this housing correction could have been one of the fastest and least severe downturns we’ve ever witnessed. Top forecasters have hinted at the housing market bottoming out , with some claiming that the “thawing” has already begun—but the data may point to something different. While there are signs of improvement compared to where we stood just a few months ago, some glaringly obvious data points could make this a much closer call than mainstream forecasters think . Dave Meyer, your sandwich-eating, data-delving host, wanted to know precisely what would cause the housing market to hit its floor . He looks at both the demand and supply side of the housing market, touching on the variables that genuinely make a difference. We’re talking about mortgage rates, housing affordability , loan applications , housing supply , active listings , and more. But you don’t need a degree in Data Science to understand what’s happening behind the scenes. Dave will explain exactly what is (and isn’t) impacting the housing market , what changes led to the state we’re in, and four scenarios that could play out in 2023 that might put a nail in this theory’s coffin. Betting on the housing market bottoming out? We’d suggest hearing the full story before you make your next investment. In This Episode We Cover Why top housing market forecasters believe that the housing market has found its bottom Mortgage rate updates and why interest rates are falling while the Fed introduces more rate hikes Housing affordability and why we may be moving away from the record-breaking unaffordability of late 2022 Mortgage applications and why homebuyers have decided to come back in 2023 Housing inventory and why more listings and longer days on market could suggest we aren’t through a correction just yet The four scenarios that could play out in 2023 (and which is the MOST likely) And So Much More!

The housing market has entered into a new era never measured before. As of a recent update from Moody’s Analytics , the rent-to-income ratio across the US has reached an average of 30%. And while this may not seem like a big deal to casual investors, it has wide-reaching implications that could cause the housing market to move in different directions. This is the first time a rent-to-income ratio has hit this high percentage point, which could spell bad news for landlords . Lu Chen and Thomas LaSalvia from Moody’s Commercial Real Estate division are joining us to explain the entire story behind the data. They have been closely monitoring the steadily rising rent prices for decades. With pandemic-fueled migration , Lu and Thomas both believe that we’re living in one of the most troubling times for renters. But how did this come to be? With massive housing development across the nation, what’s causing rents to remain so high? The answer isn’t what you might expect. Lu and Thomas have seen developers shift focus to certain housing types, leaving much of the middle class in a rent squeeze . This “missing middle” could explain why so many families are paying a solid portion of their income to rent every month. But with reasonably priced rentals becoming a hot commodity, what can landlords do to ease the burden and open up more housing for those who need it most? And where will rent head next after it’s broken through this previously unshatterable ceiling? Tune in and find out! In This Episode We Cover Housing affordability and why America just crossed into “rent-burdened” territory The “ecosystem effect” and how pricier developments hurt the middle class Housing demand and why work-from-home hotspots put strain on the system Housing markets where rent is declining and the rent-to-income ratio is weakening Where Americans are moving to and why some millennials are staying away from the suburbs Real estate development and which housing types are getting built Comparing today’s rent crisis to 2008 and why a housing correction doesn’t always equal a rent crash And So Much More!

Coliving has often been thought of as solely student housing . When you mention this strategy to investors, they think of house parties, dirty dishes, constant complaints , and a whole lot of maintenance. But ask Jay Chang from Tripalink, and he’s got a different story to tell . Jay works to develop the best coliving communities in the United States , securing a lower-rent option for his tenants and a high cash flow investment for his investors. He’s seen how coliving projects are built, managed, and maintained, and he may completely change your mind on this concept. For expensive areas like Los Angeles, New York, and Seattle, finding an affordable place to live as a student or entry-level worker is near impossible . Your options? Spend the majority of your salary on a studio apartment, live with your friends who haven’t vacuumed in three years, or move into a coliving apartment. The latter offers upscale amenities, daily or weekly cleaning, private rooms, and a high cash flow solution for landlords in pricey markets. Still have your doubts? Jay touches on the untrue myths associated with coliving , why vacancy is near-zero , property management and maintenance, and why this investing niche could be close to exploding as the economy takes a tumble. This strategy could take your real estate portfolio to the next level if you’re in an expensive market, college town, or densely-populated area. In This Episode We Cover A quick housing market update and why buyers are jumping back in Coliving explained and why young professionals and students need a new option for housing The stigmas associated with coliving and why almost all of them are untrue The luxury amenities that coliving offers and how it keeps vacancy at rock-bottom rates Property management when coliving and how to deal with tenant issues Converting your single-family home into coliving and the cost you can expect House hacking and how to start coliving on a smaller scale Where to invest in coliving and how to get in before this industry takes off And So Much More!

Your real estate investment’s returns could be ruined by a few hidden costs that you don’t know about. For the rookie real estate investor, it seems like every investment has the same type of expenses; mortgage, taxes, insurance, repairs, and property management. And while these surface-level expenses are almost always present in a real estate deal, NUMEROUS extra expenses could sink your ship if you don’t include them in your deal analysis. So, stick around, or you might get burnt on your next real estate deal ! To walk us through the different types of deals and the expenses that come with them, we’ve got Henry Washington , James Dainard , and Kathy Fettke on the show. Henry, a buy and hold investor, knows that the “ cash flow ” new investors are calculating is far from reality . He highlights the exact expenses it takes to run a rental property portfolio and why those counting on self-management could be making a MASSIVE mistake . Next, James talks about the often over-glamorized world of flipping houses and the massive haircut investors take when they don’t account for closing, construction, and tricky lending fees. Finally, for our passive investor, Kathy goes into the world of real estate syndications , defining the numerous fees many “mailbox money” investors overlook. In fact, investors in these passive deals often don’t know when (or how) they’re getting paid. You DO NOT want to make this mistake! Stick around to hear it all, so you don’t make these beginner blunders next time you get a deal done! In This Episode We Cover The “ hidden ” fix and flip, buy and hold, and real estate syndication costs Lending fees, penalties, and the BIG cost of borrowing money Seller concessions and what to expect in a buyer's market like 2023 Raising rent and why not doing so could be a huge mistake when building a portfolio Self-management vs. third-party property management and why you ALWAYS need to factor in a fee Real estate syndication payments explained and why so many investors get it wrong The “4-4-4” housing market prediction and whether it could really come true And So Much More!

Kathy is back in her love-hate relationship with new builds as she makes a SERIOUS investment in the beautiful ski town of Park City, Utah.

Next, Henry shares his “base hit” off-market real estate deal with a slew of exit strategies that’ll make him money, no matter what. Lastly, James is going hard on the multifamily housing crash , tackling a multi-million dollar deal that could have an eight-figure sales price once he’s done with it!

Mortgage rates were about the only thing stopping the almost unbelievable home price run-up of 2020 through 2022. With higher mortgage rates, homebuyers were forced to bid on smaller houses or stick to renting while waiting for the good old days of 3% rates to return. But it doesn’t look like we’ll be heading back to sub-4% rates anytime soon, and homebuyers are starting to take the hint . So as mortgage demand begins to rebound , could we be closing in on another boom in the housing market? We’re back with another correspondents show as we touch on the latest housing market news from around the nation. First, we talk about how tech markets and unaffordable housing have taken a tumble while affordable markets kept afloat even during steep price drops. Next, we challenge a 2008-like crash prediction and explain why institutional investors are suddenly sending in rock-bottom bids in growing housing markets. Then, we hit on the revival of homebuyers , as mortgage applications shoot up and how we could dodge a recession with our slowing but growing economic climate. We’ll also play a game of “ Hot or Not ,” where we touch on which real estate investing strategies are worth trying in 2023 . From buy and hold real estate to risky flipping, the fall of short-term rentals, and more, our expert guests will tell you EXACTLY which tactics they’re using in 2023 and which ones to avoid at all costs! So stick around for the housing market news you NEED to hear to build wealth in 2023! In This Episode We Cover The best (and most risky) real estate investing strategies of 2023 Why “affordable” markets are staying rock-solid even during the housing correction The new housing market crash prediction and which big cities could get hit the hardest A boost in homebuyer demand and why the mortgage rate “sticker shock” has finally worn off The 2023 recession and whether or not it's even possible as the US economy still sees solid growth Institutional investors are why they’re coming back with lowball offers in growing cities How deflated prices could lead to “equity pops” for savvy investors willing to invest in struggling markets And So Much More!

Who’s buying real estate? Maybe you are, maybe your friend is, but what about NFL players ? Most casual fans would assume that getting paid millions of dollars a year would ensure a long-lasting retirement, but this isn’t always true. For many professional athletes, you’re constantly living one injury away from having no income . If, like many newly-signed pros, you splurge your first few years of checks, you could enter into retirement flat broke without any of the millions you earned. This is the exact opposite of what Cliff Avril and Devon Kennard did. They knew that their career earnings started ticking away the second they stepped onto the field, so they made moves to protect their wealth in other ways. Although numerous financial advisors told them to play it safe with index funds, REITs (real estate investment trusts), or other more “passive” investments, they decided to multiply their active income by investing heavily in real estate . And, even during an economic downturn, these two financial powerhouses are still investing, trying to maximize their dollar as much as possible. In this episode, we chat with Cliff and Devon about syndications they’ve invested in, how they’re staying up-to-date in today’s wild housing market , where they’re investing, and why they picked real estate over all the other assets. You don’t need to be a pro football player to take these lessons to heart, so stick around because this episode is bound to make you wealthier ! In This Episode We Cover Why so many professional sports players choose real estate as their chosen investment Real estate vs. stocks , index funds, REITs, and other more “passive” investments Real estate syndications and how to vet the operator who’s running the deal Investing during a recession and how Cliff and Devon are reacting to this changing market The “ core four ” every real estate investor needs in a property market Normalizing the investment conversation and making sure your circle is building wealth together The similarities between running a play and buying a rental property And So Much More!

The US debt ceiling has been hit; what happens next could send ripples through the economy . But is now the time to panic? Or is there still time to solve this situation? With the US economy relying so heavily on borrowing, the prospect of being unable to pay back its debts could come with a series of “catastrophic” consequences . Higher mortgage rates, a market crash , and an even harsher recession could be on the horizon. But what’s the likelihood of this happening? And are we really on the cusp of a debt debacle? We brought on Sarah Ewall-Wice , Washington D.C.-based reporter, to help explain what is happening with the US debt limit. Sarah knows that many Americans are used to these types of debt ceiling congressional debates, but most people don’t know the impact these could have on their wealth , investments, and society as a whole. With COVID spending forcing the government to pay for even more, the debt ceiling has reached an almost unimaginable $31 trillion . Sarah describes what would happen if the US defaulted on its debt , the programs that would be impacted the most, what republicans and democrats both want in their upcoming debates, and what everyday Americans can expect to happen over the coming months. Dave and Sarah also discuss the “ trillion dollar coin ” method, which could end the US’s debt quite quickly, while simultaneously acting as the most comical government bailout plan to date! In This Episode We Cover The US debt ceiling explained and why the government could raise the limit yet again COVID’s effect on government debt and how spending was ramped up during 2020 The “extraordinary measures” that the treasury is putting in place to keep the government afloat What happens if the US defaults on its debt and the severe consequences for investors Which social programs will be hit the hardest if a default happens Market crashes , mortgage rate increases, and other effects we could be in for The “trillion dollar coin” method and whether money-printing is the answer What republicans and democrats really want and why they’re fighting for it And So Much More!

With assumable mortgages, you can snag a three percent interest rate even in 2023’s high-interest environment. These loans exist everywhere around you—you could be sitting on an assumable loan without even knowing it! So, if there’s a way to pick up properties at all-time low-interest rates , why isn’t everyone taking advantage of assumable mortgages? We brought Craig O’Boyle from Assumption Solutions on to the show to explain. Assumable mortgages aren’t new, but most real estate agents, loan brokers, and homebuyers have no idea what they are . In practice, an assumable mortgage allows a homebuyer to “assume” a seller’s loan with the same interest rate , contingencies, and principal paydown as the seller. This means you can walk into a home with significant equity , a low-interest rate , and the same fix-rated loan you’d be picking up from a bank. But, if you want an assumable mortgage, you’ll need to know where to find one. Craig walks us through the ins and outs of assumable mortgages , where investors can find one, why most mortgage lenders and brokers don’t know about them, and one BIG caveat you’ll need to hear before you chase down this better financing. Want a lower rate and monthly payment with higher cash flow ? Stick around; we’ll give you everything you need to know to find a low-interest assumable loan in your area! In This Episode We Cover Assumable mortgages explained and why a bank would allow a buyer to assume a loan Assumable loans vs. subject to and how one strategy is far riskier than the other Fees you can expect to pay when purchasing a property with an assumable mortgage House hacking and using assumable loans to profit off your primary residence The three types of loans that can be assumable (and others that WON’T work) The “assumption gap” and money you’ll need at closing to get the deal done And So Much More!

The new housing market is here, and with it comes a whole new set of real estate investing rules.

The On the Market team will also give their thoughts on the potential commercial real estate crash that could happen in 2023. This type of movement in real estate affects all investors. Knowing about it beforehand can help you not only make money on killer deals but also help you avoid buying a property that may nosedive in value after buyers exit the market. So if you want the best data on real estate investing for 2023 , this is the place to be! In This Episode We Cover The “new housing market” that’s forming and how investors can take advantage Why cash is king and how low competition and high rates can help you buy rental property steals Why “buying deep” combined with seller financing can make you a killing in 2023 Whether house flips will flop in 2023 and how inexperienced investors could get burnt The “hybrid cities” that offer investors cash flow AND appreciation in one place Commercial real estate and the multifamily price crash that could be on the table in 2023 And So Much More!

Getting a low interest rate on your mortgage is something homebuyers in 2023 dream about. With last year’s 4% rates still fresh in many investors’ minds, it can seem almost irresistible to try and get the lowest mortgage rate possible when buying a house. So, what if there was a way to lock in a mortgage rate two to three percent lower than the daily average , all paid for by the seller of your new property? It’s possible, and if you want to get it, you’ll need to listen closely to what today’s mortgage experts are saying. In this episode, we brought three lending experts, Bill Tessar from CIVIC, Christian Bachelder from The One Brokerage, and LendingOne ’s Matt Neisser , to talk about what is happening with lending and lenders, mortgage rates, and low-interest loan programs . With different expertise, all three of these mortgage experts know about various loans, whether for a rental, a primary residence, a fix and flip, a BRRRR , or something else. But what draws them all together is their experience over the past six months. Once interest rates started to rise , lenders nationwide were “gutted,” with massive amounts of business flying out the door. But these borrowers weren’t searching for better lenders; they didn’t even want to buy anymore. This caused many mortgage brokers and lenders to “reset” their requirements, standards, and expectations for the next few years to come. Now, lenders like these are getting creative, finding some of the best ways to help you score a lower interest rate without charging you a dime. In This Episode We Cover How the Fed ’s decision to raise rates caused the lending industry to lose huge business Real estate underwriting and why short-term investors MUST change the way they analyze deals Bad news for BRRRR investors and why this strategy may be on pause for the next few years The new low-interest rate loan products that homebuyers can take advantage of Mortgage rate predictions and when we could potentially see rates start to stall (or drop) Advice for borrowers in today’s market and why you should NOT be scared of rising rates And So Much More!

Multifamily real estate is by no means an easy asset class to buy into. What most people mistook as simple investments in 2020 are now turning out to be cash-hemorrhaging, high-interest, soon-to-go-bust investments .

The housing market is a living, breathing organism, constantly moving , with each real estate market playing by its own rules . Thanks to the individuality of the American housing market, homebuyers had the flexibility to choose where they wanted to live as soon as the 2020 lockdowns took place. No longer did homebuyers have to purchase a house that was close enough to the office. Since many worked remotely, the entire country became their office , and a slew of newly nomadic workers decided to settle down in states both far from and near home. These migration patterns changed the landscape of the housing market and made once-sleepy cities into booming metros with high-priced homes almost overnight. Now, the trend has reached a halt, as homebuyers remain frozen in place , stuck between high housing prices and even higher mortgage rates . But, with in-office work becoming more and more mandatory, could these domestic migrants start being called back to the big cities and tech hubs they came from? We brought Taylor Marr , Deputy Chief Economist at Redfin , on to the show to give his take on where the housing market is headed. Taylor goes deep into the two halves of the 2022 housing market and why “booming” post-pandemic markets like Boise are seeing steep declines. We also talk about mortgage rate buydowns , the new buyer’s market , and where migration is starting to slow as homebuyers get caught in financial quicksand. In This Episode We Cover Housing market volatility and why ping-ponging mortgage rates haven’t helped Tech markets and how these employment hubs are faring now that many homebuyers have jumped ship The most volatile housing markets of 2022 and where you can expect to see migration slowdowns Reverse migration and what will happen once in-person work becomes mandatory again How politics, taxes, and weather highly affected homebuying patterns in 2022 Short-term rental data and why second homes saw a massive drop-off in demand And So Much More!

Picking stocks can be intimidating for a first-time investor in the stock market . For landlords, real estate can seem like a much more tangible, calculated way to make money with less risk and far more upside. But, with the stock market taking a much harder tumble than real estate in 2022, some long-time investors argue that now is the best time to pick up discounted shares of companies that will last for hundreds of years to come. So, as a real estate investor, which stocks should you pick? There’s no better person to ask than Chris Hill , host of Motley Fool Money , an investor who knows the ins and outs of stock investing better than the rest. Chris understands why most investors are hesitant to invest in the stock market, especially after the past year. With company valuations dropping faster than many have seen , stocks aren’t looking that attractive—at least not right now. However, Chris argues that this is a massive opportunity for the long-term investor, and if you can practice delayed gratification, you’ll be rewarded for decades. Chris walks through why he’s so optimistic about the stock market in 2023 , how rising interest rates hurt real estate and stock valuations, advice for new investors , and how to start picking stocks , even if you have no experience. Chris also shares why the everyday businesses many of us purchase from are primed for growth and why REITs (real estate investment trusts) may be massively undervalued as stocks and real estate are feeling a collective price crunch. In This Episode We Cover The 2022 stock market crash explained and what caused prices to drop How rising interest rates affect the stock market (especially startup stocks) Compound interest and the massive advantage that young investors have right now Advice for investing in the stock market in 2023 and how to start picking stocks REITs (real estate investment trusts) and why they’re trading at a discount Understanding your risk tolerance and maximizing your returns while minimizing your sleepless nights And So Much More!

The Federal Reserve is a misunderstood arm of the government. Is it public? Is it private? Does congress have any control over it? Most Americans don’t know . Because of this constant confusion surrounding this shadowy subsection of the government, Americans are struggling to understand what’s going on with interest rates, mortgage rates, bond yields , and more. But there’s one person who knows the Fed better than the rest. Nick Timiraos , reporter at The Wall Street Journal , has been tracking every move the Federal Reserve makes. Whether it has to do with inflation , interest rate hikes , job growth and decline, or anything in between, Nick knows about it. As the foremost expert on the Fed, we took some time to ask him some of the most critical questions on how the Fed’s decisions could affect investors in 2023 . With so many variables up in the air, Nick helps pin down precisely what the Fed is thinking, their plans, and whether we’re on the right economic track. You’ll hear how the “ overcorrection ” of inflation could pose a massive threat to the US economy , the significant risks the Fed faces today, the three “buckets” that the Fed is looking at most, and why we’re targeting a two percent inflation rate in the first place. We also get into when the Fed could stop raising interest rates , how investors should react, and whether or not we’ll see three and four-percent mortgage rates again. In This Episode We Cover How the Fed’s 2022 moves affected the US economy (and whether they’ll pay off in 2023) Massive money printing and why this time was designed not to repeat 2008’s mistakes The Fed’s “overcorrection” on inflation and how it could send us into a more brutal recession The three “phases” we must get through to see lower mortgage rates Interest rates, federal funds rates, and when the Fed could halt their rate hikes Employment, the labor market, and why excessive wage increases could hurt the economy The 2023 outlook for real estate investors and when we’ll see low interest rates again And So Much More!

Foreclosures , mortgage rates, housing prices ; if there’s one person to ask about any of it, it’s Rick Sharga , Executive Vice President at ATTOM, who handles housing market data and forecasting all day, every day. Rick is often seen as a housing fact crusader, taking down the clickbait hype that many mainstream articles love to post. While other media channels push fear, Rick focuses on facts , showing what’s happening in the housing market , whether it’s good or bad news. Rick knows much more about home foreclosure numbers than most, so we took time today to ask him exactly how rising interest rates , crushing unaffordability , and shrinking home prices affect today’s homeowners. Could there be a foreclosure crisis on the horizon? Or, are homeowners in such a solid position that the chance of getting foreclosed on is slim to none? And if you’re looking to make some money during this declining market , which strategy would work best as buyers and sellers get desperate? We also take a chance to get Rick’s opinion on where interest and mortgage rates could be heading over the next year. Rick lays out the exact scenarios that could cause rates to plummet or rise multiple percentages and how homebuyers may go through a rate “reprogramming” to get hungry for houses once again. If you’re holding, buying, selling, or renting in 2023, this is the data you need to know!

Deleveraging is a term you probably haven’t heard. And don’t be surprised; most news networks will never cover what deleveraging is or what it means for the real estate market . But, this capital constriction could implode the housing market , causing numerous investors and funds to go under, leaving the rest to pick up the scraps. This massive change is about to happen , but don’t get too scared; if you bought right, you could be one of the lucky few with a buffet of cash-flowing deals to choose from. So, who’s better to ask about this impending crisis than Ben Miller , co-founder and CEO of Fundrise ? He’s been on both ends of lending, not only buying significant assets with credit but also supplying the funding to others who need it. Ben is predicting a massive change in the real estate market that will shock investors to the core and could leave the economy worse for wear. This deleveraging crisis Ben talks about is not a simple concept, but once you understand how and why it’s happening, you unlock a piece of knowledge that 99% of other investors miss . Ben speaks on how bridge loans and floating financing have put thousands of investors (and lenders) in a bind, why banks will be strapped for cash in 2023 , and the scenarios that could play out over the next year if everything goes wrong. Make no mistake, this is NOT a doomsday forecast or some hypothetical hype meant to worry investors. Deleveraging is a real scenario that could have cascading effects for decades . If you’re investing, this is a CRUCIAL episode to tune into. In This Episode We Cover Deleveraging explained and why so many investors are on the line for millions of dollars Which real estate industries will be hit hardest when the deleveraging crisis manifests Why even the banks are overleveraged and the domino effect that could cause financial chaos The scenarios that could play out as banks start to constrict the money supply and investors get desperate The massive opportunity for investors as overleveraged loans come due and assets start to sell for a fraction of the cost Who will win and make it out alive after the mass deleveraging takes place And So Much More!

There are few things more critical to a real estate investor than home prices, mortgage rates , and rent . Thankfully, those are three subjects that Redfin decided to tackle in their new 2023 housing market predictions list . But are these housing market projections the truth, or is the data showing something else entirely? We’ve got Dave to fly solo this episode to break down these hot housing market takes to see which could truly come true in 2023. Welcome back to On the Market . As we wind down the year, we’re wrapping up as many real estate predictions and forecasts as possible so we can give you, the investors, the best chance of success in 2023! And although many of you have asked for Dave’s crystal ball (it’s just his head, people), he’s brought something even better today to share: cold, hard housing market data ! We’ll be pinning it against Redfin’s predictions on mortgage rates, housing prices, home sales, rents, and construction for 2023 . Some of these predictions seem far more likely than others, as the future remains mysteriously shrouded in possibilities of a global recession or depression rocking the housing market over the next year. But let’s get to what you really want to know: which markets will be saved , how low rates will go, and when you can expect to get even better deals on investment properties . All that (and much more) is coming up, so tune in! In This Episode We Cover Redfin’s most significant housing market predictions of 2023 How low home sales could go as buyers and sellers stand in a stalemate Mortgage and interest rate predictions and the three scenarios that could cause rates to drop Whether or not a foreclosure crisis is on the horizon as home prices start to stall The most secure real estate markets in 2023 and why the “winners” of 2021 and 2022 won’t be safe The generation of forever-renters and why a nationwide rent drop isn’t as likely as it seems Which property type will see the most construction and competition in building And So Much More!

The housing crash is always looming. If it wasn’t, how would media outlets push you to constantly stay informed, glued to the television, watching every new mortgage and inflation update? For years now, a housing market crash has been the talk of the town, with everyone from well-known news anchors to your “very informed” family members telling you that it’s only a matter of time until this house of cards comes crumbling down. But these “forecasts” aren’t as rock-solid as they may seem. This is just one of the stories we’ll touch on in this episode of On the Market, where we’re joined by our entire panel of expert guests! With the housing market in a standoff between buyers and sellers, our expert real estate investors are here to save the day, giving you the top stories that could impact your income. To start, Jamil talks about the “cancer” that’s affecting the Arizona housing market, Kathy touches on new landlord legislation, Henry hits on the US recession, and James debates the housing market doubters. But we’re not just talking about how investors are faring, we’re diving deep into a rarely-talked-about subject among investors—homelessness, housing affordability , and our impact on society. You’ll hear why investors are open to building affordable housing, but there’s one BIG hurdle standing in their way, stopping them from moving forward. We’ll also discuss whether or not landlords are the villain retail homebuyers portray them to be, and how we, as investors, can help more homebuyers reach their dreams of finally becoming owners themselves. In This Episode We Cover Homelessness, housing affordability, and why even as prices drop, first-time buyers feel out of luck Affordable housing and what the government must do to incentive landlords to act Landlord legislation and a new bill that could curtail Wall Street’s buying activity Whether or not the US has already entered into a recession and who’s hurting the most Housing crash “clickbait” and why the chances of a home price drop-off are different than you think The “money printing disease” and how the Federal Reserve ’s unregulated moves are killing the economy And So Much More!

After Hurricane Ian , Florida real estate took a huge hit . With multiple communities literally underwater and the entirety of Southwest Florida facing pricey home repairs, Florida went from being the Sunshine State to the “do we have enough insurance?” state overnight. And with more and more natural disasters taking shape across the US, how can homeowners, landlords, and renters prepare for what mother nature is throwing at us ? Thanks to both heavy state and federal funding, Florida is well on its way to a successful recovery , but how did this happen? To learn more about the ins and outs of disaster recovery , we brought on Jeremy Edwards , Press Secretary at FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency), to share what the federal government is doing to aid in building back communities . Jeremy touches on storm tracking, pre-disaster preparedness, flood insurance coverage, and temporary housing programs landlords can use to help affected areas. We also take a detour to talk about the rising insurance costs in disaster-prone areas like the Gulf Coast and the flood mitigation assistance grants that FEMA has set up for local governments to lower their chances of a devastating event. Jeremy also talks about what private homeowners can do if they don’t have enough insurance coverage , and how they can build back better so their own homes are protected when disaster strikes. Read More About Substantial Damage Determinations Here. In This Episode We Cover The financial impact that Hurricane Ian had on the state of Florida Rising home insurance rates and how the government is stepping in to help Why investors are still buying in areas that are highly impacted by hurricanes Flood insurance and FEMA’s assistance to homeowners that need more coverage Temporary housing assistance and how landlords can help those in need Hurricane, wildfire, and other disaster prevention that could save you tens of thousands The timeline for a full recovery in heavily affected hurricane areas And So Much More!

Zillow , Opendoor , and other iBuyers made quite a name for themselves over the past two years. By buying up every house on the block , iBuyers quickly became the “no work, best price, all cash” alternative to selling through an agent or a wholesaler. These huge, wall-street funded businesses were buying thousands of homes in the blink of an eye, doing some quick repairs, and flipping them in record time. But even with all this activity, iBuyers were slowly hemorrhaging money , causing most of them to crash and burn within the past year. Now, all that’s left standing is Opendoor and Offerpad , two of the most experienced iBuyers around. But will either of these giants survive until the end of 2023? With home prices starting to plummet , interest rates rising, and last year’s homeowners not looking to move, will Opendoor and Offerpad bleed out before they get another shot at this wild housing market ? We brought in real estate tech strategist, Mike DelPrete , to give his opinion on the future of iBuyers. Mike has been watching iBuyers for a while. He’s seen them creep into towns, buy up inventory, just to sell at a loss months or years later. He knows what competition looks like for real estate investors, and he doesn’t think iBuyers offer much of a threat. Mike walks through the current state of iBuyers, how they could end wholesaler and realtor careers , why most iBuyers were designed to fail , and why companies like Opendoor and Offerpad may be forced to pivot strategies very soon. In This Episode We Cover How 2022’s housing market almost destroyed the iBuyer industry A huge threat to real estate agents and wholesalers from iBuyers The massive operational expenses that destroyed businesses like Zillow Offers The iBuyer’s “ path to profitability ” and why it’s almost impossible to achieve Why homebuyers are refusing to buy the soulless flips iBuyers offer Whether or not iBuyers will be able to survive this current housing correction And So Much More!

House flipping was almost a guaranteed win in 2020 and 2021. With home prices steadily rising and interest rates dropping, throwing on a new coat of paint was often enough to make a six-figure profit on what would otherwise be a basic home. House flippers got accustomed to doing quick jobs while walking away with almost unbelievable returns. But, many of them got overconfident. Now with the housing market in a correction and the US on the edge of a recession, flippers find themselves with inventory no one wants to buy. But, this isn’t the case for every flipper. The time-tested expert investors knew that this would happen, and as a result, they’re still making a killing on their flips . Some of these flippers are joining us on the show today. As always, we’ve got Seattle-based superstar, James Dainard to give his multiple-decade-long take on house flipping. And, joining as new guests are Dominique Gunderson , New Orleans-based flipper, and Leka Devatha , luxury flipper and one of James’ favorite buyers! These three house flippers operate in very different ways. James touches on multi-million-dollar luxury flips and multifamilies, Leka focuses more on high-end yet still affordable flips and Dominique provides high-quality housing at a reasonable price for residential buyers down south. These are three flippers who have NOT let the market change their business plans , and because of some smart moves (which they share on today’s episode), they’re still sitting pretty and getting deals done, even as the market starts to slide. In This Episode We Cover Inflation rate updates and some good news for investors How 2022 took many flippers by surprise and put inexperienced investors out of business Labor and material cost updates and why flippers are still running into inventory problems The risk behind flipping and whether or not high interest rates makes make it worth it Tips for new flippers who want to get into the market without getting burnt The danger of not diversifying and how sticking to one asset class can destroy your wealth 2023 house flipping predictions and how to protect your wealth if home prices tumble even further And So Much More!

Short-term rentals have had a serious run over the past two years. As soon as interest rates dropped, everyone decided that buying a vacation rental or second home was the best move to make. This led to a surge in short-term rental investments across the US, as hosts began to almost outnumber guests. Now, vacation rentals are seeing a dramatic slowdown while a recession starts to shape, as Americans are less concerned about taking vacations and more about keeping their jobs. So where is the vacation rental market headed? Were short-term rentals just a short-lived fad that could fade out faster than it took to be born? Or, is this a mere blip on the radar of vacation rentals, as guests still prefer hosts over hotels? We brought on Avery Carl , Jenny Yi , and Tony J. Robinson , three experienced short-term rental investors, to walk us through exactly what is happening in the market, what moves they’re making, and advice for getting through a recession . We also talk about short-term rental regulations , which, surprisingly, many of the expert investors are in favor of. They speak on the saturation of “blue chip” vacation markets , and how some sleepier towns offer much better prospects for profit than the vacation markets most Americans know and love. If you own a vacation rental, plan on buying one, or just like staying at them, this episode gives you in-the-field opinions that most hosts won’t admit. In This Episode We Cover Who’s hurting and who’s thriving as the short-term rental market starts to lag How to identify new markets that have low competition and high tourism potential Short-term rental regulations and why it isn’t all bad news for hosts How a 2023 recession could affect vacation rentals and vacation spending Advice for new hosts as bookings and revenue starts to decline during a downturn Vacation home price drops and whether or not this type of real estate is more vulnerable than the rest And So Much More!

Inflation may have just peaked . And with it, mortgage rates could come crashing down sooner than economists expect. But what would cause a scenario like this, especially as the Federal Reserve continues to bombard Americans with higher and higher interest rates ? And, with supply chain shortages abound, how do we know that inflation won’t boomerang back in 2023, creating an even worse problem than before? Stick around. Dave has the answers. For the past year, Americans have dealt with high inflation rates and the crushing weight of purchasing power declining . Food, energy, electronics, and most importantly, housing , have skyrocketed in price . To tame this economic beast, the Fed unleashed a series of almost unimaginable rate hikes, slowing down homebuying, borrowing, and business building in the process. This was part of the plan, and we’re just now seeing the effects of these high rates on inflation. But what will happen once inflation numbers start to cool ? Will the Fed suddenly lower interest rates and turn the housing market tap back on again? Will droves of homebuyers get back into the market, causing the same amount of competition that high rates were supposed to solve? Assemble your post-thanksgiving sandwich, plug in, and get ready for some up-to-date data drops from Dave Meyer. In This Episode We Cover November's latest inflation rate updates and some good news for the American economy The three reasons why inflation could start to dramatically drop in 2023 How a global recession could foil the Fed’s plan and shoot rates back down Whether or not mortgage rates will reverse once the Fed hits their target inflation rate How the ten-year treasury yield almost identically maps mortgage rates China’s lockdowns , Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and other global events that shocked the supply chain And So Much More!

BRRRR investing , house flips , five-figure rental properties, and silicon prairie dogs are all part of this On the Market episode. We asked our panel of expert guests to bring in some of the juiciest deals they’ve been doing so we can compare and contrast which real estate investing strategies are working best in today’s housing market. Surprisingly, even with this panel of investing all-stars, we’ve got deals and steals costing only $70K , but also home-run rentals in the seven and eight-figure price points.

We also take a question from the On the Market Forums concerning rent raises and how to price your rental property . It can be tempting to set your rental price at an all-time high rate, as renter demand skyrockets. But, this could lead to unintended consequences that could not only hurt your property but bombard you with headaches from a future tenant.

Cap rates affect multifamily investing more than most investors come to realize. If you’re in the commercial real estate space, you know that as cap rates decrease, price points for apartment complexes increase. And, as cap rates start to expand , multifamily prices begin to dwindle. With rising interest rates and high labor/material costs , the multifamily market should see a decline in property valuations . But that isn’t what’s happening. Behind the scenes, a group of investors is unknowingly keeping this multifamily boat afloat, artificially inflating cap rates and keeping prices at record highs . The problem? This makes average asset prices skyrocket to almost unaffordable levels, ruining the playing field for any investors who can’t outright buy a multi-million dollar property in cash. Ashley Wilson , experienced multifamily investor, calls this the “cap rate con” and blames much of today’s high multifamily pricing on it. Ashley is a veteran real estate investor with a decade and a half of experience . She’s been investing in large multifamily housing since 2018 and is shocked at what’s happening today. This “multifamily madness” is affecting investors across the board, and she’s convinced that it must come to an end. But what’s causing these inflated prices? How are multifamily investors reacting? And is there still space for the new investor to make money? You’ll have to tune in to find out! In This Episode We Cover How a pandemic-fueled buying spree massively inflated multifamily housing cost 1031 exchange investing and how “all cash” buyers are damaging the system The “cap rate con” leading to surging property price hikes without reasoning How to evaluate a multifamily investment property in three different ways Advice for passive real estate investors and those investing in syndications Whether or not a wave of multifamily defaults is on the horizon And So Much More!

The housing market has shown homebuyers both fierce love and abuse throughout 2022 . At the start of the year, offering anything other than twenty thousand above asking was seen as an insult to a seller. Now, the seller is offering you a foot massage on your way into their open house. But we’ve known about this for months. Rising rates paired with home prices that are still (arguably) too high have made homebuyers think twice about buying in the first place. But is this true in every real estate market? We brought on two agents , both in very different markets , to get their take on whether or not the housing market has finally flipped. Niyi Adewole , Atlanta-based investor and real estate agent, spent the last couple of years helping himself and his clients build bigger portfolios. Ryan Blackstone , northwest Arkansas-based investor and realtor of our very own Henry Washington, has seen buyers start to bounce from his market, but not close to as fast as most would expect. Both these expert agents share exactly what’s happening in their real estate market and how buyers, sellers, and investors should prepare if they want to make moves in the next year or two. While Niyi and Ryan have different clientele, they’re coming to the same conclusions about where the housing market is headed , with extremely useful advice no matter where you stand right now. In This Episode We Cover In-the-field advice from top agents in two hot housing markets How buyers have taken control , and the concessions sellers are willing to make Price drops , cheap labor, seller credits, and more good news for buyers Whether or not buyers are dropping off as unaffordability spikes Days on market, active inventory, and other important metrics to pay attention to Buying in down markets and why now may be the best opportunity to strike And So Much More!

Self storage investments aren't sexy. Most investors wrote them off for decades, with many of them not even considering self storage as true real estate. As more facilities were being built in the 1970s and 1980s, average investors looked down on self storage operators, seeing them as nothing more than owners of some concrete and metal. And who could blame them? Apartments, hotels, and other popular real estate ventures had proven track records, industry-specific technology, and a true “need” in the market. It wasn’t until after 2008 that this perception completely changed. AJ Osborne , one of the largest self storage operators in the world , built his business at a time when no one wanted to touch self storage. But, as his portfolio grew and the industry turned around, more and more investors saw self storage for what it was: a low-risk, high- cash flow real estate investment . But now, with self storage hitting its all-time high in popularity, could the market slowly be getting saturated? AJ has theories about who will and won’t get burnt over the next few years . His strong opinion on this industry is backed by a massive amount of expertise that few can rival. AJ, unlike many of his competitors, does NOT think that self storage is “recession-proof,” but he does still think that investing in this asset correctly, especially now, could be a game changer for any investor interested in a life of financial freedom . In This Episode We Cover AJ’s journey from insurance salesman to full-body paralysis and later self storage king Why self storage is a misunderstood asset that most investors dismiss too easily The explosion in self storage since 2008 and why Americans are storing more than ever before Commercial financing and what banks want to see when buying a self storage facility Whether or not institutional investors could own the entirety of the self storage industry in the near future Location, lighting, design, and other aspects that make a facility high demand AJ’s advice for brand-new investors trying to get started in self storage investing And So Much More!

Landlords got used to rent prices growing every month. As home prices rose and affordability shrank, more landlords took steps to secure their cash flow by increasing rents by sometimes ten, fifteen, or even twenty percent. And, with inflation stronger than ever , most renters would be willing to pay for it. But, a reversal is happening in the housing market —one that many landlords aren’t prepared for. Our data-first duo of Dave and Kathy are back on the show today to have a one-on-one debate over what’s causing rent prices to drop. Kathy, who has invested in numerous market cycles, knows a thing or two about what causes rents to dry up, and when we can expect growth to come back . Surprisingly, even large investors like Kathy welcome this change in rent direction. Her team has been expecting this for quite some time now! Dave also brings in some high-value data this week to show which housing markets are seeing the most dramatic drops in re nt and which are seeing double-digit growth even as the economy starts to stall. Finally, Dave and Kathy touch on multifamily’s vacancy dilemma and why there are contradictory opinions on where apartment investments could head next. If you collect rent, pay rent, or want to make cash flow, this data is crucial to you! In This Episode We Cover What caused rent growth to increase so much over the past two years How the federal reserve manipulated the housing market to cause high home prices coupled with higher rents Why rents are starting to slow down and a hint at why many landlords aren’t so worried The real estate markets that are seeing the worst and best rent growth in America Our continuous supply and demand problem and why millennials have been forced to pay high prices Multifamily rental data that could spell out a dream or disaster scenario for apartment investors And So Much More!

US housing markets have started to shift . The massive run-up in home prices eventually led us to high interest rates , high inflation , and a generation of renters who can’t afford to buy, even with price cuts. This should come as no surprise, as Moody's Analytics estimates that some eighty percent of real estate markets are overvalued . Of those markets, where are the opportunities to invest the highest as prices naturally start to decline? Instead of speculating, we brought Cris deRitis , Deputy Chief Economist at Moody's Analytics, onto the show to explain why this is happening, what his team is forecasting, and how investors like us can stay prepared. Cris and his team diligently look through data to predict how the housing market will move . He knows that it’ll take time for the market to finally reach equilibrium again. But, unfortunately, this may not happen any time soon. Cris’s team is focusing on looking at a few things: demographics , supply , and demand . Each influences the others severely and leaves hints at where the housing market is headed next . Dave and James tag-team this episode, touching on whether US housing will become even more unaffordable, long-term home supply predictions, affordable housing , and a demand drop-off that could end real estate investing over the next decade. In This Episode We Cover Overvalued housing markets and why most homes in the US aren’t worth the price How to forecast housing market movements and the most important factors to look for Whether or not the US will end up like other countries with astronomical home prices Home price drops and how bad it could get in the most overvalued cities Which real estate markets will still see price growth in the coming months/years The myth of affordable housing and why everyone (and no one) wants to build it Population drop-offs, demand shifts, and other future events that could kill the housing market And So Much More!

The 2023 housing market predictions are here. We heard you in the forums, the comments, and all over social media. We know you want Dave, the data man, to give you his take on what will happen over the next year . Will housing prices fall even more? Could interest rates hit double digits ? And will our expert guests ever stop buying real estate? All of this, and more, will be answered in this week’s episode of On The Market . Unfortunately, Dave threw his crystal ball in with his laundry this week, so he’s relying solely on data to give any housing market forecasts . He, and our expert guests, will be diving deep into topics like interest rates , inflation , cap rates , and even nuclear war . We’ll touch on anything and everything that could affect the housing market so you can build wealth from a better position. We’ll also discuss the “ graveyard of investment properties ” and how one asset class, in particular, is about to be hit hard. With so much affecting the overall economy and the housing market , it can be challenging to pin down exactly what will and won’t affect real estate. That’s why staying up to date on data like this can keep you level-headed while other retail homebuyers run for the hills, scared of every new update from the Fed . Worry not, this episode is packed with some good signs for investors, but also a few worrisome figures you’ll need to pay attention to. In This Episode We Cover The most important variables that could impact 2023’s housing market Which asset class will be hit hardest by price cuts and where investors can find deals Inflation , bond rates , and how the federal funds rate could impact homebuying Housing price predictions for 2023 and how far home prices could slide The seller’s vs. buyer’s market and how brand new investors can take advantage Whether or not cap rates will start to increase even as inflation pushes rents higher And So Much More!

Finding cash flow isn’t easy, especially with rising interest rates , high home prices, inflation , and an economic crunch on everyday investors. Where is the best place to park your cash while riding out today's economic unfolding? Some say vacation rentals—the highly popular (and even higher cash-flowing) real estate strategy many new investors have adopted. But what about medium-term rentals ? They’re a cross between regular rental properties and short-term rentals, marketed mainly to traveling professionals , travel nurses , and digital nomads . How is this under-the-radar strategy faring? Unfortunately, we can’t ask Dave this question. But, we can ask Sarah Weaver and Zeona McIntyre , two financially free medium-term rental experts and authors of the new book, 30-Day Stay . Zeona, a former short-term rental fanatic, changed her strategy after finding that medium-term rentals provide similar cash flow with far less work . Sarah Weaver, investor and real estate coach, lives her nomadic lifestyle thanks to a portfolio of high-performing medium-term rentals. The most attractive thing about this strategy is that it can work almost anywhere , in less expensive homes, with far less work necessary . That means you get to keep traveling, investing, or whatever you like to do best, while your rental properties quietly pump out passive income . In this episode, you’ll hear all about this extremely lucrative strategy , how today’s housing market is affecting it, and what you can do to set your medium-term rental apart from a sea of others. In This Episode We Cover The medium-term rental strategy explained and in which markets it works best Medium-term rentals vs. short-term rentals and the differences you can expect in cash flow, occupancy, and property price How high inflation and limited discretionary spending will affect the medium-term rental market The hands-off management style medium-term rentals provide investors Furnishing your rentals for cheap and how to have a headache-free setup Rental regulations and how new laws could affect medium-term rental investors And So Much More!

Dollar-cost averaging is advice we’ve all been given. But, during a crash, or even a dip, it can be enticing to throw all your savings into an investment with hopes that it’ll quickly skyrocket back up. Is this a smart move , or would this ruin the “consistent investing” advice altogether? To help clear things up, we’ve brought on Nick Maggiulli , author of Just Keep Buying : Proven ways to save money and build your wealth . Nick, just like Dave, has been a spreadsheet freak for a long time. They bond over their love of data and how looking at the numbers can help you make much better investing decisions . In a time where FOMO-investing, financial freak-outs, and anxious feelings toward inflation run rampant, Nick provides some soothing words on how any investor in any asset class can successfully start building wealth with little-to-no effort. Dave, Nick, and expert guest Henry Washington also riff on REITs (real estate investment trusts) , real estate investing, and advice for new investors. Whether you prefer stocks, bonds, rental properties, crypto, or a mix of all four, this episode will provide some much-needed advice for you to make it through the recession with far less stress. In This Episode We Cover Dollar-cost averaging and whether this investing strategy works for real estate FOMO investing and why so many people buy at the top The two different definitions of dollar-cost averaging and which is the better bet Investing during an economic crash and how even uninformed investors can make money Advice for brand new investors and why now may be the best time to invest And So Much More!

Gen Z , the generation just on the cusp of homebuying age , may not have a chance to buy homes in the first place. For years, we’ve heard how millennials have been struggling to buy homes —but what about the generation behind them? With rising affordability issues, wages that won’t match inflation , and a recession on the horizon, will this newest generation ever be in the clear to become homeowners? Or, will they become the largest generation of renters the world has ever seen? In today’s episode, Dave breaks down the data behind the demand , showing where Gen Zers are heading , what they’re buying, and whether or not they even want to buy homes at all. This data highlights significant differences in where renters/homebuyers of this generation are moving. Landlords, pay close attention —buying in any of these high-demand cities could mean steady rent checks for years to come. We also chat with twenty-four-year-old investing mogul , Soli Cayetano , a Bay Area-based investor who grew her portfolio entirely out-of-state. Soli, being one of the oldest Gen Zers, has insight into why some of her peers will/won’t be buying homes anytime soon. She also gives some stellar advice to new or young investors just getting into the rental property game. In This Episode We Cover Whether or not millennial housing demand is peaking and how household formation is changing Gen Z’s outlook on homeownership and why many are choosing to rent The top cities where Gen Z renters and homebuyers are moving to Home affordability and why it may stop Gen Z dead in their tracks The easiest way for Gen Z to begin investing in real estate (low money down!)

Commercial real estate isn’t the sexiest asset class out there. With industrial, office, and warehouse buildings, most investors are enticed by single-family homes , duplexes, triplexes, and other “traditional” types of real estate. But in a recession , these may not be the best asset classes around. J Scott , author, investor, syndicator, and the godfather of flipping, thinks these often overlooked asset classes could be primed to explode in value over the next few years. Welcome to On the Market , where familiar faces Dave Meyer and Henry Washington invite J back to the show to talk about inflation , interest rates , and the best real estate opportunities around. We also talk about the importance of knowing how to analyze deals during times like these, as price drops could allow you to build wealth far faster than ever before .

In this episode, we debate single-family homes vs. large multifamily and commercial investing , how to go beyond the numbers, and the crucial questions to ask when buying or selling a real estate deal. Plus, you’ll peak into the minds of one of the most successful real estate investors around, whose track record speaks volumes, and hear exactly what he’s buying in this market. In This Episode We Cover Why many real estate investors are choosing to sit on the sidelines as interest rates rise Whether or not the housing market will change as the recession becomes real The long-term and short-term investment opportunities for real estate investors Investment property niches and which have the highest ROI in today’s housing market Are single-family homes still worth buying , or are they far too overpriced?

The 2020-caused supply chain shortage went from bad to worse over the span of just a month. By the summer of 2020, builders were facing massive delays , a lack of labor, and material prices that made new homes look almost comically unaffordable. Lumber skyrocketed in price, basic building materials sat on ships for weeks, even months at times, and subcontractors left to get paid more by working for themselves. Is this nightmare finally over for the new construction industry? Joining us today is build-to-rent expert Chris Funk from Southern Impression Homes. Chris got into real estate investing around the same time as the last crash. He was buying foreclosed homes off the courthouse steps , then later built a property management company and a new development company he still owns and operates today. He realized that buying new build homes as rental properties significantly reduced his maintenance and management costs, without adding too much of a price premium. Now, he’s working with investors across the nation to offer new-build quality at regular residential pricing to those who want a headache-free investing experience . But Chris doesn’t just supply the homes, he also works with investors to get property management set up from day one, so it’s as turnkey as can be.

Housing demand has caused home prices to explode over the past two years. But, even as interest rates rise , the Fed tries to curb inflation , and would-be- homebuyers enter back into the renter’s market , there still isn't enough land to go around. For developers like Tommy Beadel , this is a good problem to have. On one hand, tailor-made homes for new homebuyers sell out quickly, but without a ton of deals to go around, where do you go to find good dirt? Tommy is the CEO of Thomas James Homes , rebuilding experts in the Seattle, SoCal, Silicon Valley, Denver, and Phoenix markets. They do what most flippers won’t— buying old, often outdated homes, tearing them down, and rebuilding them to fit today’s standard. Doing this allows them to sell at the highest price to a consumer that only wants the best and latest home to buy. They skirt the line between new development and renovating/rehabbing homes, but this niche has paid off . Unsurprisingly, Tommy came from a background like most of us. He attended a real estate seminar , surprisingly didn’t get scammed , and house hacked right out of college. His passion for real estate grew from there, taking him from the mortgage industry to investing and now building. But Tommy is convinced that his niche isn’t a cyclical one. Instead, it’s something he can rely on that will stand the test of time. He’s got the data to back it up, and you’ll hear all of it in this episode. In This Episode We Cover The “tear down, build up” style of new construction and why there’s so much demand for it The property product-market fit and how today’s trends show what a homebuyer wants Scalability vs. predictability and the most crucial aspect of growing a real estate business What predicts a profitable housing market and the data you need to know before you invest Material and labor costs and some good news for builders/rehabbers Entering back into a “middle-ground housing market” as sellers and buyers reach a stalemate And So Much More!

The Federal Reserve has spent the past year or so fighting inflation as hard as they can. They’ve raised the federal funds rates , resulting in a stunted housing market , higher unemployment , and more economic uncertainty as the fear of a recession becomes more real by the second.

Last week, Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve made statements that foreshadow clear economic impact . No matter what line of work you’re in, how you’re investing, or whether or not you even pay attention to the economy, you will be affected .

On this Friday episode of On The Market , Dave takes some time to decipher what Jerome Powell (Chair of the Fed) meant by his statements. What type of economic impact can you expect over the next coming months, and how will real estate investing, interest rates , and returns be affected by this news?

Modular homes don’t have the same market sentiment that traditional housing does. For many people, the thought of building a home in a factory only comes with anxiety. Decades ago, modular homes were built using cheap materials with virtually zero energy efficiency . Now, thanks to companies like Vantem , you can buy modular homes almost indistinguishable from the one built on-site right next door . But, these two home builds operate on a much different budget. To go over all the fine details, Vantem’s CEO, Chris Anderson , joins us in this episode. He started building factory-finished homes after seeing how inefficient the modern-day homebuilding process was. With the help of an expert team, Vantem dramatically reduced not only material but labor costs when building these almost indestructible, massively energy-efficient homes. But modular homes seem to be the gift that keeps on giving. Even with a cheaper sales price , homeowners and landlords can see ridiculous cost savings over the life of their investment, with energy costs hitting rock bottom and environmental efficiency being so high that it’s almost unheard of. Whatever your preconceived notions were about modular homes, prepare to have them changed in this episode. In This Episode We Cover Massive time and cost savings from building modular vs. traditional homes Energy efficiency and why Vantem’s modular homes are net zero almost immediately after manufacturing The evolution of modular homes and why today’s builds beat regular rental properties Why lenders, local government, and insurance companies are so pro-modular home building How factory-built homes stay almost indestructible against natural disasters And So Much More!

High interest rates are here. The mainstream media would tell you that it’s time to sit down and have a long sob over the soon-to-be-dead housing market . “It’s over, everyone!

For the past couple of years, new construction homes were the envy of the neighborhood. They had brand new granite countertops, walls without holes, and sometimes a garage door! In 2020 and 2021, homebuyers were happily bidding over asking price just to get a new home, even if that meant missing appliances or garages that couldn’t even close. Now, builders are offering incentives and slashing prices to get buyers through the door. What happened? What comes up must come down, and this rings true in the 2022 housing market. New homes couldn’t be built fast enough last year, but now, builders are trying to liquidate their homes as quickly as possible . But this doesn’t affect us everyday homebuyers—right? Not quite. These price cuts and dwindling demand could feed an even more gruesome economic beast that many of us aren’t prepared for. On this Friday episode of On The Market , Dave is flying solo as he gives us the data and insight behind the new construction market . He also touches on the three economic impacts of this large-scale sell-off. The housing market has been bumpy over the past few months, but it may get even wilder . In This Episode We Cover The new construction vs. existing homes market and how they differ in demand Why homebuyers were willing to pay a premium for new homes but now are sitting silently How a slowing construction market could lead to an even more intense housing supply shortage The US economy and real estate market 's impact from these price cuts Whether or not existing homes will see an uptick in demand as new construction lags And So Much More!

Home sales are starting to slump, days on market continue to climb, and price drops are becoming the new norm. Are we on the cusp of a 2008 housing market crash repeat ? Or, are these eerily similar signs of a large-scale sell-off just coincidental, without much backing behind them? The On The Market Team wanted to know exactly how close we are to repeating the same mistakes from fourteen years ago, and whether or not the runup in buying activity over 2020 and 2021 could lead to a lackluster housing market for years to come. We’ve brought our entire panel of experts back on the show so we can get an up-to-date read on everything happening in today’s housing market . With fears of a recession on the horizon, buyers and sellers live in fear of what could happen next. But are these “panicky” investors looking at the full data set that Dave and the rest of the team have been able to dig up? In this episode, we’ll compare four of the most important metrics that could influence today's housing market to 2008 data. These include consumer debt and mortgage quality, defaults and home foreclosures, housing market inventory, and appreciation and growth rates. Are we closer to a housing market apocalypse than we thought or are media outlets using a “crash” as a fear tactic to keep homebuyers out of the loop? In This Episode We Cover August housing market data and whether or not real estate still looks strong Crash vs. correction predictions and which way the market could slide Mortgage quality stats and where modern-day homebuyers stand when compared to 2008 A massive year-over-year increase in foreclosures and how it may hurt the housing market Demographic data that could force first-time homebuyers to get even more desperate Lessons learned from the 2008 crash and what experts and investors warn against And So Much More!

It’s a little strange how long it took build-to-rent real estate investing to catch on. For decades, landlords were used to buying older homes , many without renovations, and renting them out to whoever needed housing. This trend has continued up until today as numerous buy-and-hold investors buy homes well past their prime. It seems almost natural to think that building brand new homes would allow you to get the highest rent price , and that’s why so many investors, like Fundrise ’s CEO Ben Miller , are so gung-ho about build-to-rent rentals. Ben Miller knows the housing market /real estate industry inside and out. He’s helped over 350,000 real estate investors passively make profits through Fundrise’s simple and groundbreakingly open investing platform. Any investor, accredited or not, can now get a piece of the pie on a cash-flowing property, even if they don’t have enough money to buy it themselves. Since Ben is at the forefront of this industry, it serves him well to know which areas are trending , how investors can get ahead, and the asset classes most worth investing in . He shares valuable insight on how institutional investors operate, why many active investors still choose to invest with Fundrise, real estate markets with the strongest property potential, and why build-to-rent could deal a serious blow to the multifamily and commercial office industry. In This Episode We Cover How any investor , no matter how much money they have, can start investing in real estate Passive vs. active investors and which are better suited to use Fundrise’s platform Top real estate markets and when the sun belt may start to see a shift in demand Why build-to-rent could pose a threat to multifamily housing Inflation, supply chain issues, and the “shadow real estate industry” no one talks about Buying from big developers as home sales come to a halt and prices drop And So Much More!

The housing market , for most people, seems like an unaffordable investment. For years, housing unaffordability was climbing , but not fast enough to keep average Americans from buying primary residences. Now, combine rising interest rates with all-time high appreciation, and the average renter can’t afford a home in most American metros. But how did this all come to be, and is there a chance that home affordability could get even lower than it stands today? We wanted to know how affordability in the United States compared to other similar countries around the world. Although most Americans would call today’s real estate market completely unaffordable, the data seems to point to something different. There are numerous real estate markets around the country boasting low home prices , high rents , and population growth to support any investment decision. But where are these markets? Dave does his best in this episode to give you a quick overview of how affordability works . We also talk about what causes housing markets to become unaffordable , which metro areas are the most and least unaffordable , and how the United States ranks when put head-to-head against other economies. Thankfully, there is some good news for landlords throughout this episode, so be sure to stick to the end! In This Episode We Cover The three factors of an affordable/ unaffordable housing market What caused the United States housing market to become so unaffordable Will unaffordability problems lead to a real estate bubble in the future? The most (and least) affordable countries around the world Whether or not affordability could get even lower as wages stagnate and interest rates rise What investors can do to capitalize on affordable markets with growing populations And So Much More!

Home prices are a big part of the housing market . But not as big as interest rates . As the Federal Reserve sets out to “kill the economy” with rising mortgage rates, researchers like John Burns dig through the data to find out what real estate investors can do to take advantage. John isn't a beginner in the real estate space—his consulting company has been doing this type of work for two decades , providing some of the biggest real estate investors with the most up-to-date information . John isn’t optimistic about this housing market. The data he’s been collecting shows that home prices could see dramatic drops over the next couple of years and that the housing supply problem may only get worse. But, he also sees opportunities for investors that could take the place of the appreciation gains we got all too used to. John’s team participates in over nine hundred consulting studies a year , meaning if there’s one person who knows what’s happening in the housing market, it’s probably him. In this episode, we talk about housing market predictions , how flippers got caught, why Ibuyers are less of a threat than most investors think, and what will happen to the housing supply as developers start selling off homes at break-even prices. Are we heading towards a 2008-sized cliff or could this be a small hiccup on the continuous road to real estate appreciation? In This Episode We Cover The new development vs. resale housing marke t and what they say about the economy An unbelievable opportunity for apartment investors as homebuying dries up Housing supply and why builders may not be in the same predicament as in 2008 Ibuyers/institutional investors and why they’re a much smaller threat than most people think The home price “wipeout” that is coming down the pipeline for sellers Why refreshing/remodeling homes could make a profitable comeback this decade And So Much More!

Multifamily real estate has been on a tear for the past two years. This is not only thanks to 2020-induced rent growth and price appreciation but also due to simple supply and demand. As millennials, a rent-rather-than-own generation, enter into peak homebuying age, many still choose to rent—instead of buy. This presents a unique opportunity for real estate investors , as multifamily demand skyrockets while inventory can barely keep pace. But rising interest rates are starting to make the housing market look shaky. Is there still a strong demand for multifamily, and if so, how will prices change if financing becomes more expensive while building faces a bottleneck ? We’ve brought on Caitlin Sugrue Walter , Vice President of Research at the National Multifamily Housing Council, to give her take on the multifamily investing situation. Caitlin knows the apartment investing numbers, arguably better than anyone else, and sees some movement on the horizon. She diagnoses exactly what has led to such high demand for apartment rentals , why builders got stuck in developing quicksand, and whether or not rent prices are still poised to increase as we close out 2022. She also hints at the best markets for multifamily investment in the nation and what investors can expect to happen to prices as cap rates begin rising and new interest rates take their toll. In This Episode We Cover The building bottleneck affecting multifamily housing and its opportunity for investors Luxury apartment buildings and why A-class apartments have become the new norm Rent control and why it often hurts the same people it’s trying to protect States with the highest multifamily demand and how large industries affect it Institutional investors, private equity, and other large buyers who are taking on multifamily Work from home ’s retracement and how it may shift occupancy in large cities And So Much More!

Subject to is a strategy that most real estate investors aren’t aware of. It’s often done to buy deals with no money down , surprisingly low interest rates , and without closing costs or any other upfront fees. It sounds almost too good to be true until you understand how subject to works. For the past two years, subject to deals slowly started dying out. Since homeowners had equity in their properties, there was more incentive for them to sell on the market. But, over the past few months, things have changed in a dramatic way . Pace Morby , the internet’s creative financing poster child, has seen subject to deals explode as desperate sellers try to get out of homes they didn’t think they’d be stuck with. This presents the perfect opportunity for investors who don’t have a lot of cash but want to buy real estate as the housing market hits a soft spot. On today’s show, Pace will walk through multiple real-life deals that helped him create six-figure cash flow without any money out of pocket. But Pace isn’t only interested in subject to deals. He’s bought numerous seller-financed properties as wealthy sellers are looking to exit without paying a high agent commission or capital gains taxes. Pace sees serious opportunities in multifamily and commercial real estate . Much of this means that more deals are available for any buyer willing enough to pick up a phone and talk to a seller. The question is: will you place the call? In This Episode We Cover The subject to strategy explained and why 2022 presents a perfect opportunity to try it Creative financing and how to buy properties without using the banks or traditional lending Building six-figure cash flow with no money down and rock-bottom interest rates The pain vs. gain seller and which strategy works better for each seller The antidote to high interest rates and why many sellers are willing to give you a great deal Housing market forecasts and why sellers need to start getting more realistic Why sellers choose to sell via owner financing and subject to strategies And So Much More!

Single-family vs. multifamily investing . We can go on this debate for days. Small-time investors favor single-family rentals due to their low barrier to entry and ease of management. Big players and passive investors far prefer multifamily thanks to its scale and ability to bring in some serious cash flow . But, it seems that many multifamily investors have lost their way . For the past two years, buying almost any multifamily property was considered a good investment, but now things are starting to shift . Today we bring you two separate deals, one from Henry Washington and the other from Kathy Fettke . One is a single-family flip, and the other is a “passive” multifamily buy-and-hold. You’ll hear why one of these deals got ditched while the other should fetch a handsome return. This top-level analysis can help you debate future deals , as some properties look far better on paper than in real life. We’ll also touch on the latest inflation news and an update on housing market inventory . One story shows some hope of the economy recovering, while the other could spell troubling times for investors coming up ahead.

Real estate markets are local, not national. When someone says, “ the housing market is about to drop ,” you have to ask, “which housing market?” Every city has different migration patterns, housing market activity, building codes, and inventory. One market in the Midwest could see price jumps while somewhere on the coast sees declines. So, which markets are getting hit hardest in the latest round of price cuts and which are still on their way up? You’ll need to know the different housing market metrics before making a prediction. But you don’t have to look into the data by yourself. You have Dave Meyer by your side! Dave has been looking at a few key markets to uncover which are seeing home price drops and which are seeing appreciation. Traditionally “strong” cities are getting hit the hardest as interest rates rise and inventory comes on the market. Some cities look like they’ll see double-digit price cuts over the next two years, while others that have already seen record price growth will continue to outshine their more well-known coastal counterparts. As an investor, this is the exact type of data you need to know when making housing market decisions . The right market could lead you to financial freedom , while the wrong one could burn your hard-earned capital! In This Episode We Cover The five most important housing market metrics to predict future price trends Why coastal cities are getting hit hard by recent home prices declines Which factors are causing increased prices and which are forcing down declines Looking at long-term and short-term growth rates to forecast prices Why some markets are starting to return to “pre-pandemic” housing market conditions The ongoing affordability crisis and why many homebuyers can’t afford homes in popular markets And So Much More!

Interest rates are dipping below five percent , hedge funds and institutional investors are starting to sell off their homes , and inexperienced syndicators are getting stuck with bad deals. Is this the everyday investor’s version of a miracle? Nope, it’s just another week in the wild 2022 housing market ! Joining us is the entire On The Market panel to talk about which up-to-date, hard-hitting stories affect investors the most . To start, we’ll talk about Invitation Homes , one of the most prominent institutional real estate companies, and how they’re being accused of using unpermitted work to renovate their recent acquisitions. Within the same vein, Opendoor , another institutional investor, was fined a whopping $62M for “deceptive marketing”, but did they really make promises they couldn’t keep? Don’t worry, this isn’t an entirely iBuyer -only episode. Our last two stories cover commercial real estate and interest rates . More commercial deals are starting to see cracks in their literal and figurative foundation, as inexperienced investors are being slapped with higher fees and rates from banks as their properties become less valuable. But, some good news for investors is that mortgage rates have finally dropped below five percent, getting us closer to the rock-bottom rates we were used to in 2020 and 2021. But can these rates be counted on, or will they skyrocket back up once the Fed has had enough? In This Episode We Cover Why hedge funds are hurting and failing to keep up with maintenance on their properties The “ deceptive marketing ” tactic OpenDoor used to lure in new customers How rapid “repricing” is changing the way commercial real estate deals are done Jamil’s $2.5M mistake and why you should always focus on your own area of expertise Low interest rates and why banks are offering them even as the Fed pushes for increases And So Much More!

What do work-from-home employees and the housing market have to do with each other? Surprisingly, a lot. At the start of 2020, as the first lockdowns were rolling in, many companies made the wise decision to allow their workers to temporarily work-from-home . As temporary became seemingly eternal, more employers started developing permanent work-from-home regulations , allowing employees to, on average, work at their residence for about half of the workweek. With this enhanced flexibility, employees were more likely to move to places their jobs didn’t confine them to . If they were used to snow and sleet, they may have moved to Arizona , Texas , or Florida . If they were stuck in urban areas like New York City and San Francisco, the more suburban allure of Boise , Denver , or Raleigh pulled them even closer. Now, these high-paid, location-flexible workers were on the hunt for houses. And as a result, home prices skyrocketed while affordability plummeted. It’s becoming more and more evident how much of an impact remote work plays on the housing market , but what can landlords do with this information? Dave has already dug through the research so you don’t have to, and he brings on this show three factors of a work-from-home “hotspot” that could forecast big home price appreciation. These three factors could point you on the path to buying in the nation’s next best real estate market! In This Episode We Cover The latest remote work trends and whether or not working from home is here to stay How work-from-home policies have affected productivity in the workplace The three factors of a work-from-home “hotspot” that could explode in popularity How more remote workers affect the housing market , migration, and home prices Whether or not a recession could end the work-from-home movement and force workers back into the office The real estate markets that are starting to cool after huge home price appreciation And So Much More!

Climate change and real estate . Most people would say that they’re related, but not in a substantial way. We all know that homes can flood , catch fire , or be blown away from a tornado , but how many real estate investors are looking at the climate risk data before making a real estate-related decision ? Institutional investors have been using climate change data to make educated decisions for decades, so why aren’t we doing the same? Cal Inman , lecturer at UC Berkeley and principal over at ClimateCheck , saw that real estate developers were regularly looking at climate data to make decisions. As a small landlord himself, he struggled to find this same type of data for his residential properties . As fire and flooding became more prevalent throughout the United States, Cal knew that this data was imperative for homeowners, not just large-scale investment firms. Now, thanks to ClimateCheck, homeowners, buyers, and sellers can look at the climate change-related risk before they put any money into a property . Cal also shares why and where climate risk is rising, the safer parts of the US to invest in, and how different regions of the country are preparing for more elevated climate-caused catastrophes . If you’re investing on the coasts, in the plains, or anywhere in between, the data could completely change your investing strategy . In This Episode We Cover How real estate developers use climate data to make better investing decisions Whether or not climate risk is rising and in which markets is it impacting the most Why coastal investors especially need to be specific about where they decide to buy What small investors can do to mitigate the risk of losing their properties to climate emergencies The impact climate change will have on US migration and renting/buying trends And So Much More!

The US economy has seen a couple of recessions over the past two decades. The most brutal one being the great recession , which remains an anomalous event. Fast forward twelve or so years, and we entered into the 2020 recession , one of the fastest recessions ever recorded that resulted in a massive run-up of stock, crypto, and real estate prices . Now, as a recession looms on the horizon, Americans are struggling to figure out whether or not we’re about to hit a short-term speed bump or a long-term depression. So many different economists, newscasters, and financial bloggers love to debate whether or not we’re truly in a recession . By definition, we should be, but the experts are slowly taking their time, trying to calculate the true impact of this latest economic cycle we’ve entered. But does being in a recession really matter? Yes, recessions affect almost every aspect of financial life. Labor slows down, consumer prices go up while asset prices drop, and it’s harder to make economic progress. But, is that what we’re experiencing in 2022, or is the term “recession” just propping up fabricated fear that matters far less than we think? In this bonus episode of On The Market, Dave gives his insight into whether or not the US economy has entered a recession , how this affects real estate investors, and why experts can’t agree on a definition. If you’re actively investing, Dave gives some good advice on how to keep your head screwed on straight while every news outlet plays chicken little. In This Episode We Cover Why experts can’t agree on whether or not we’ve entered a recession GDP decline and how inflation has outpaced our growth as an economy How past recessions compare to what we’re going through today and what we can learn from them Mortgage and interest rates and how a further economic decline could affect investors The three most important metrics to watch as a recession becomes more likely The key performance indicators that show economic growth , not decline And So Much More!

Your next property purchase might just be a 3D-printed house . Don’t believe us? With lower housing costs , immediately replaceable/printable parts , and homes that can be built in six months (or less) , traditional real estate developers may find themselves in a pinch when trying to compete against these perfect printable properties. With a huge inventory shortage and housing crisis throughout the United States, 3D-printed homes may just be the ultimate solution nobody believed could happen. As a true believer, Zachary Mannheimer , CEO and founder of Alquist 3D , knew that 3D printed houses would sooner or later become the future. With labor and material costs skyrocketing and real estate development becoming eye-wateringly expensive, Zachary became keen on finding an affordable solution. His team now has plans to build 200+ homes for underserved communities and has already begun expansion across the eastern United States. And this isn’t all theory. Zachary’s team has already built multiple 3D printed homes, one of which has a family living in it. They’re facing an influx of orders and can’t keep up with demand, but are slowly building economies of scale to make 3D printed housing one of the biggest industries in America . Zachary confidently estimates that by 2025, you won’t be asking if 3D printing is possible, you’ll be asking when you can preorder your next property . In This Episode We Cover The true cost of a 3D printed house and how labor and material costs will shrink as the industry expands Project Virginia and how Zachary’s team is building affordable, high-quality housing for communities with rock-bottom inventory How to buy and build a 3D printed home by working with Alquist 3D The new 3D printing industry that will create hundreds of thousands of jobs over the next decade How long it takes to build a 3D printed house and how to print your own materials And So Much More!

Is some alleviation from inflated home prices headed our way? Over the past two years, sellers have taken the housing market for a ride, getting dozens of offers on every listed house . No matter the condition, area, or age of the property, buyers were filling open houses every weekend just to make an over-asking offer on what should be a reasonably priced house. Now, the tables are starting to turn , and as a result, sellers are getting desperate . Interest rates are rising and buyers are backing out of the market by the dozen. Instead of twenty offers in a weekend, sellers are looking at two, and none of them are over asking price. This is good news for home buyers and great news for investors , as deals are becoming easier to come by while the housing market hysteria takes a breather . We brought the entire On The Market panel in this week to see where they’re finding deals , how their own markets are fairing, and what investors should look for on the horizon as demand steadily starts to slow . We also go into the future of housing inventory and how another inventory crisis could be coming soon . In This Episode We Cover June housing market updates and why the housing market is starting to slow Why fear-first sellers are dramatically lowering their asking prices simply to sell Could we enter into another inventory crisis and why some investors think this dip is only temporary Where to find deals in today’s market and why real estate agents may become a phenomenal deal source for you How flippers and BRRRRers can prepare for housing prices to head back down And So Much More!

Real estate wholesaling is one of the most hated, commonly criticized, and least-trusted types of real estate investing. Most people paint real estate wholesalers as those who lie to sellers, incorrectly run comps, and try to market bad deals to unexpected investors. This is all said while top real estate investors around the country continue to buy from wholesalers . So what is it? Are real estate wholesalers a parasite to the property investing industry or are they the symbiotic counterpart every successful investor needs? To put it simply, wholesaling real estate is when a wholesaler will put a property under contract for a certain price , then market the property to investors at a higher price, and keep the difference once the property is handed off. Think of wholesalers as the middlemen between a distressed seller and a real estate investor looking for undervalued deals. In a perfect world, all three parties walk away from the transaction happy. But how often does this happen? Jamil Damji, James Dainard, and Henry Washington are on this week to talk about how to wholesale , what most wholesalers get wrong , and whether or not real estate wholesaling still works in 2022. Jamil and James are both active wholesalers, while Henry often buys his properties from wholesalers. They give a “ wholesaling 101 ” course to any new investor looking to find deals as well as to new wholesalers trying to get their seed money started. In This Episode We Cover Whether or not a recession is here and how high interest rates may go in 2022 What is wholesaling and why real estate wholesalers are so hated in the industry Is 2022 a good time to start wholesaling or should investors wait until home prices drop Why wholesaling may be the single best way to get a world-class real estate investing education Which properties to wholesale vs. keep when investing and flipping contracts Vetting your wholesaler and how to know you’re buying a real deal And So Much More!

Does a stock market crash affect real estate? We’ve seen home prices hit record growth over the past two years, with a slight slowdown happening right now. But nothing in the real estate market compares to the stock market selloff that has happened over the past six months. Index funds are down over twenty percent year to date , tech companies are quickly losing valuation, and the stock market doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. Is this an opportunity for real estate investors? Instead of letting landlords try to explain how equities work, we brought on Clay Finck from the Millennial Investing podcast to help educate us on what a good (or bad) buy looks like. Clay has spent years learning about value investing from the best stock trader of all time, Warren Buffett. He’s designed his portfolio to model the trading techniques Buffett engineered and thinks that this latest dip poses some interesting opportunities for investors of any asset class. Clay talks about recession-resistant stock picks , how to know whether a company is under or over-valued, and why stock investing could be a more passive alternative for the stressed-out landlord. We also have our panel of expert guests give their take on the stock market, how real estate investors should invest, and what their own portfolios look like. If you’re heavy on the real estate investing side of things, make sure you listen until the end, as there are some serious stock buying opportunities you may have never thought of. In This Episode We Cover How the Fed influences the stock market through quantitative easing and rate hikes Which stocks win during a recession (and which ones to stay away from) Dividend stocks and how to cash flow without owning any real estate Dollar-cost averaging as a smarter way to invest even as prices fall Whether or not to put your money into the stock market to save for your next deal Why some stock investors are ditching equities to make headache-free gains in real estate And So Much More!

Short-term rental investing has been one of the most profitable , fastest-growing types of real estate investing strategies in decades. When the events of 2020 happened, most vacation rental owners thought that their passive income stream had been shut off, only for the exact opposite to happen in a big way. With low interest rates, investors were scooping up short-term rental s every second they could, and their occupancy rates just kept on increasing. But is all of that about to change? We’re back with another bonus episode of On The Market where Dave does a data-first deep dive into what’s happening with the short-term rental market. From occupancy rates to second home sell-offs , and hotels regaining their prestige—everything you wanted to know about vacation rental investing is packaged up for you in this short-term rental recap. Dave also gets into the recession data behind short-term rental investing and why some investors might be calling a quits too quickly. And even with interest rates rising, a buying opportunity may be on the horizon for investors who are fast enough! In This Episode We Cover Whether or not demand has stayed consistent as the economy enters into uncharted territory Hotels vs. hosts and which vacation stay is getting more popular over the next few months How inflation is affecting the average American’s vacation budget and what that means for investors Second-home demand and why so many owners are looking to sell The massive influx of new vacation rentals and the effect it's taking on occupancy And So Much More!

Will housing prices drop in 2022? There may seem like an obvious answer to this question, “of course with interest rates rising housing prices will drop.” But, that’s not exactly what the data shows, especially when you take into account that 2022 is not a normal housing market by any means. We had high demand, which is starting to cool, but housing prices are still far from affordabl e. And with so many homeowners enjoying huge equity boosts, is there even a possibility that foreclosures could fill the supply gap? Instead of postulating about what will or won’t happen, we brought on an industry expert who can give a data-first decision on which way the housing market will move . Rick Sharga , EVP of Market Intelligence at ATTOM, knows the data. He spends the majority of his waking hours scanning through copious amounts of housing market information so he can give investors and real estate professionals a true, unbiased opinion on what will happen next. Rick goes deep into demand , what’s causing it and whether or not it has been suppressed thanks to interest rate hikes . We also touch on the foreclosure “crisis” that never happened , how forbearance programs worked, and why we’re starting to (finally) see an uptick of foreclosures, many of which could make great investment properties. Lastly, you’ll hear why waiting out the housing market could be a move many investors shouldn’t make. In This Episode We Cover Why interest rate hikes are affecting the housing market faster than we thought The possibility of a housing market crash and what it means for investors Forbearance and foreclosures explained and what makes this market different from 2008 “Emotional equity” and how it could keep home prices high for years to come Buying rental properties at auction and what to know before you make a bid Why waiting for lower homes prices could cost you tens of thousands more And So Much More!

Everyone wants to know how to invest during a recession . We get it—things aren’t looking too good. Inflation is crossing all-time high territory, your rent is going up and so are interest rates , and many investors are wondering if a stock market crash is on the horizon. It’s normal to be scared, but it’s even smarter to do something while all the other investors are trapped in analysis paralysis. If you do want to invest, what should you do? We’re back with another bonus episode of On The Market where we’re tackling the not-so-simple question, “ should I invest in 2022? ” If you think a bunch of real estate investors are biased, you may be right, but we’d highly encourage you to listen to the very end of this episode, as each guest on our expert panel explains why they’re doing what they’re doing and why you should try it too . Recessions are traditionally when much of the population loses money, but it doesn’t have to be that way for informed investors. A world of opportunity is waiting for you , even if you have no money or experience going into this year. If you take what our expert guests say to heart, there’s a good chance you’ll not only make it out alive in 2022, but you’ll also have a lot more wealth than when you started. In This Episode We Cover July housing market updates and what has happened since the start of the year Is the housing market starting to cool ? And if so, what should investors do? How to start investing NOW and getting a real estate deal in the next thirty days What to do if/when the housing market crashes (and how to profit from it) How to invest in 2022 and whether or not buy-and-hold rentals are still a safe bet The no-cash-needed way to start making money in real estate And So Much More!

Renting vs buying a house . It’s an easy decision. If you have the option to buy, you should buy. Shouldn’t you? That line of thinking, according to Ken Johnson , real estate economics expert, can cost you a lot of money . His team at Florida Atlantic University, along with other data–first economic experts, have spent a lot of time studying whether or not it makes more sense to rent or buy a home . Ken breaks down how most Americans have gotten the rent vs buy debate all wrong , how renters can beat homeowners to long-term wealth, and which housing conditions lead to better deals. We also bring in our expert panel of guests to get their take on whether or not owning is a smarter choice than renting. You’ll hear multiple opinions on how you can make a more lucrative decision on your first primary residence and whether being a “renter-landlord” makes sense in 2022. Surprisingly, in a time when more people are being forced into renting, Ken describes how “ corporate landlords ” could benefit the housing market, not deteriorate it.

The housing market is confusing , to say the least. In 2020, at the start of lockdowns, nearly everyone you spoke to had the opinion that the housing market was headed straight for a crash . Not only was this wrong, but it was the opposite of what the data was saying. While mainstream news outlets and “ 2008 crash bros” were painting a picture of foreclosures, price drops, and bottomed-out demand, Logan Mohtashami was singing a far different tune . Logan had been looking diligently at the data (like he does most days over at HousingWire ) and he saw patterns that didn’t at all reflect the last recession. Instead, Logan predicted a runup in prices, hot buyer demand , and very low rates of foreclosures . In a time when almost everyone with a public voice was calling for an apocalyptic housing scene, Logan predicted much differently. Now, two or so years later, we can see just how right he was . We’ve brought this beloved data-first housing market deep diver onto the show to answer some of our most burning questions. Logan hits on how housing inventory got so low , what will force demand back down, why new property taxes are bad news for buyers, and the smartest move an investor can make in 2022 . In This Episode We Cover How to dig ourselves out of the housing inventory hole we’ve created The “ forbearance ” myth that most housing market forecasters missed Why buying a home may be the smartest hedge against inflation of the decade Property taxes and why homeowners should (or shouldn’t) start to worry about them Housing markets to look out for that may see demand drop after huge appreciation pumps Why investors need to look at data “the right way” instead of relying on prominent internet forecasters And So Much More!

House flipping , rental property investing , wholesaling , and every other type of real estate investing has had an incredibly profitable run-up over the past two years . Days on market shrunk as buyer demand soared and supply dried up. Flippers, rental property investors, and everyone in between saw profit margins they couldn’t have imagined before. But, now that may all change . Rising interest rates have stopped many would-be homebuyers from making offers, forcing them back into renting instead of sending in over-asking bids . Now, home equity and flipping profits are starting to see a lag, as mortgage applications significantly slow down , showings become far less crowded, and price cuts become the new norm. Are we at the beginning of a real estate recession , and if so, how can we best prepare to still profit during the downturn ? James Dainard , master flipper, investor, and “On The Market” guest, has had to readjust almost every way he analyzes real estate deals . He’s managed to cash in some serious flipping profits over the past two years but understands that this year will be different. He shares exactly how smaller landlords , real estate investors, flippers, and wholesalers can “pad their profits” so they don’t get burnt on their next real estate deal. In This Episode We Cover Why price drops have doubled even though many homes are selling above asking price Seller FOMO ( fear of missing out) and why now may be a great time to find phenomenal deals Why cash flow has reemerged as the most important investing metric for rental property owners The 1% rule and why using it on every property could cost you money Readjusting your expectations as a flipper and how to “pad your profits” the right way Whether or not you should “trade up” your rental properties to protect your portfolio And So Much More!

Inflation and interest rates—two things we rarely talk about when the market is going smoothly.

Over the past two years, home prices have looked as if they’re never going to drop. With record-low interest rates , a newly formed remote work culture , and millennials at peak homebuying age, who would have thought that lower home prices would come so soon. Although traditionally affordable areas of the United State are still teetering on “overpriced” status, many high-priced markets are seeing negative population growth , and home prices are getting hit as a result. This is just one of the topics we touch on in our in-depth interview with Redfin’s Deputy Chief Economist, Taylor Marr . Taylor, like our own Dave Meyer, spends his days digging through the most important real estate data around. Whether it’s housing market updates , inflation and interest rate changes, or migration patterns , Taylor is on it long before you read one of his team’s excellent articles. As a key member of one of the leading companies distributing accurate, timely real estate data, he knows the housing market better than almost anyone else . Taylor’s insight is invaluable if you’re looking to migrate to a new part of the nation, invest in a new market , or debate whether or not to sell a property you own. He goes over s upply and demand , how the “lock-in” effect has stalled the housing market, which real estate markets are primed for huge growth , and which could suffer serious financial fallout from a lack of homebuyers, renters, and demand. In This Episode We Cover What caused so many Americans to buy homes in new parts of the country How “cash-rich” homebuyers caused region-specific inflation in their areas The migration patterns to pay attention to when analyzing a real estate market Which cities are primed for rent and home price growth , declines, or stagnation How the “lock-in” effect is prompting more homebuyers to wait out the housing market Why we’ve started to see home sales decline as more homebuyers resort to renting And So Much More!

Home flipping, wholesaling, and BRRRR-ing rental properties are all solid options in the real estate investing space. But, as most experienced investors know, different markets favor different strategies .

We couldn’t have this sort of debate without our buy-and-hold expert, Henry Washington, our master house flipper , James Dainard, and our wholesale addict, Jamil Damji.

When we talk about recession indicators , we usually talk about things like housing price drops , mass layoffs , heavy unemployment , and overleveraged consumers. It seems like every time you turn on the news, someone is touting a return of the great recession , without much to back it up. Since the housing market plays such a pivotal role in the economy, we decided to have a housing market recap with our expert investors Henry Washington, James Dainard, and Kathy Fettke, to see if their metrics point to a recession. In a strange time like 2022, almost every real estate investor is starting to get nervous. Home prices continue to rise , and inventory is almost as low as it’s ever been, but at the same time, high interest rates don’t make buying expensive homes attractive anymore. Is there still any juice left to squeeze in this year’s housing market, or are we on a fast track to foreclosures, price cuts, and peak buying opportunities for investors ? In this episode, we’ll touch on it all so you can stay confident in these wild times. Dave and our panel of experts will explore why showings have dropped for new homes , unemployment rate updates, “data traps” you can fall into, how tech stock slumps pose a threat to real estate , and how to adjust your numbers when money costs more. In This Episode We Cover The current housing market supply and demand and what it foreshadows for the future What the “recession indicators” are saying and why it differs from mainstream thought Inflation , employment, and which industry may have layoffs lying around the corner The “lock-in” effect causing most homeowners to hold instead of sell What a “recession” would look like in 2022 and planning for price drops And So Much More!

Gas prices, unemployment rates , and home sales have been headlining topics for the past two years. Every other day we’re hearing about a record surge in a certain type of asset, leaving many investors wondering when this market madness will come to an end. To help us understand a bit more about the economic indicators affecting our daily lives, we invited Planet Money and The Indicator ’s Stacey Vanek Smith on the show. Stacey has an enormous presence in the economic podcasting world and has helped pioneer some of the most-listened-to content about what drives and divides our economy. Today, she talks to Dave Meyer and Kathy Fettke about the most important economic indicators that investors should watch out for. Thankfully, she brings news not just about interest rates and inflation —Stacey has some genuinely positive news about the post-pandemic economic recovery. One of the key topics of this show is how work-from-home and remote lifestyles have prompted a “real estate reset” that may potentially even out the United States housing market. If you’re a real estate investor, homeowner, or renter, this information will be crucial for decisions that will affect not only your current life but your future potential to build wealth. If you enjoyed our interview with Stacey, we highly recommend getting her new book Machiavelli for Women: Defend Your Worth, Grow Your Ambition, and Win the Workplace ! In This Episode We Cover How to recover from the “divided economy” we find ourselves in today Is the great resignation here to stay, and if so, what does it mean for home prices ? Unemployment “JOLTS” that affect labor prices and worker supply Why and how energy prices have skyrocketed and the effects that come with it The two most important economic indicators real estate investors should pay attention to The positive economic effects of a worldwide pandemic and global lockdown And So Much More!

Maybe you wanted to know how to invest in real estate back in early 2020. You took some time to educate yourself by listening to podcasts and reading books. Then you went and got preapproved, found yourself an agent, and were ready to start hitting the pavement, searching for your first real estate deal . While you were on your hunt for profitable houses, the world started to shut down. Everyone was forced inside, the real estate market locked up, and you thought “maybe I should wait this one out.” Now, it’s 2022, and the housing market is arguably the most competitive it has been in decades. You missed your shot, right? Now you can never invest in real estate…or so you think. Dave Meyer, On The Market Host and VP of Data and Analytics at BiggerPockets, is here with Henry Washington, Jamil Damji, and Kathy Fettke to argue that you should still be investing in real estate . Even with rising interest rates , high home prices , and fierce competition, our expert panel agrees: there’s no better time to invest than right now. So, if you’ve been feeling like your passive income dreams are slowly slipping away, we encourage you to not only listen to this episode but take the steps outlined in today’s show. Dave and our panel of expert guests give you everything you need to make a smart, profitable, confident entry into real estate investing . You just need to take the first step.

Cash flow vs. appreciation has been a fiercely fought debate between many real estate investors for decades. Cash flow investors love to tout the fact that consistent rental property profits allow you a life of freedom, while appreciation investors argue that cash flow doesn’t build wealth , it merely keeps you treading water. There’s arguably no better panel to ask about this topic than America’s best wholesaler, investor, and flipper trio —James Dainard, Jamil Damji, and Kathy Fettke. James, Jamil, and Kathy have a view on the appreciation vs. cash flow topic that most investors don’t possess. All three of these investors have bought, sold, and held real estate before, during, and after the great recession, meaning they aren’t subject to the 2020 and beyond “ hot housing market ” stigma many new investors fall into. They’ve seen what a good, bad, and ugly housing market can look like, and, unsurprisingly, they reach almost the same conclusion. Maybe you’re a new investor, looking to buy in a high-appreciation area like South Beach or a cash-flow crazed, FI-chasing rookie who thinks the Midwest is where it’s at in terms of wealth-building. No matter where you stand on the subject, this episode will give you decades of investing context that should help you make far better returns in the long run. In This Episode We Cover Rent growth, appreciation, and the surprisingly most unaffordable state in the US Cash flow vs. appreciation and which strategy makes sense for which investor stage How to force appreciation so you never have to rely on outside market conditions Why forecasting your market is far superior to trying to time it Whether or not cash flow is too slow of a strategy to build real wealth What happens to appreciation if a housing market recession is on the horizon And So Much More!

The Fed and interest rates —what one does, the other follows. Over the past two years, we’ve seen interest rates crash to all-time lows , only to skyrocket back up to decade-long highs at the start of this month. This turbulence has swept the legs of many prospective homebuyers and has caused the housing market to go from red-hot to lukewarm in only a matter of weeks. What’s causing these rapid fluctuations and are rising interest rates the new norm? There’s arguably no one better to ask this question than Nick Timiraos , reporter and economic correspondent at The Wall Street Journal . Nick keeps a tight pulse check on The Federal Reserve at all times. In his newest book, Trillion Dollar Triage , he discusses why The Federal Reserve made the shocking moves they did in 2020 , and how their decisions affect every American today. Dave Meyer and James Dainard use today’s interview with Nick as a chance to ask the how, why, and when questions about The Federal Reserve, inflation , interest rates, and the housing market as a whole. Nick discusses the warning messages that The Fed has been sending over the past few months that should give investors an inkling of what is to come in the second half of 2022. If you’re a real estate investor or casual homebuyer, these signals could dramatically shift when and how much you offer on a home . In This Episode We Cover T he main goals of The Federal Reserve and how they change markets to achieve them How the 2008 housing market compares to the 2022 housing market Where The Fed thinks we’re going in 2022 and how interest rates will affect this The biggest factors influencing today’s high inflation rates and when we can expect to see a more normal economy The silver lining behind a slower housing market that real estate investors should pay attention to How investors can increase their chance of investing success in the coming years And more economic obscurities!

The housing market relies on many things: market sentiment, Federal Reserve policy , supply, demand, interest rates , inflation —the list goes on and on. For most homebuyers, it may seem almost impossible to crack the code of when (or if) it makes sense to buy a home or rental property.
